Thermal Analysis of High-Power InGaAs–InP Photodiodes

摘要

InGaAs-InP charge-compensated unitraveling-carrier photodiodes with thick depletion region are demonstrated. A 40-mum-diameter photodiode achieved 10-GHz bandwidth and 24.5dBm RF output power. A 100-mum-diameter photodiode achieved bandwidth of 2 GHz and 29 dBm RF output power. Simulation of the temperature distribution in devices is also presented
