Four-element traveling wave photodetector array for high-performance analog fiber-optic links

We have demonstrated wide-bandwidth photodetector power combining in a structure we call the traveling wave detector array (TWDA). The TWDA embeds several small discrete optical detectors within a microwave quasi-transmission line (QTL) structure that coherently combines their RF photocurrents while...

Zusammenfassung:We have demonstrated wide-bandwidth photodetector power combining in a structure we call the traveling wave detector array (TWDA). The TWDA embeds several small discrete optical detectors within a microwave quasi-transmission line (QTL) structure that coherently combines their RF photocurrents while maintaining the bandwidth of a single detector.
