Integration of different photonic devices in a single optoelectronic chip has become increasingly popular since the early 1990s. The distributed combination of optical amplification and photodetection seems promissing in terms of obtaining a large unsaturated output photocurrent and external quantum efficiency, since it allows a continuous extraction of electron-hole pairs with a nearly constant optical power inside a waveguide device. Combined with a traveling-wave structure in order to achieve high electrical bandwidth, key figures of merit for photodetector operation can potentially be…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Integration of different photonic devices in a single optoelectronic chip has become increasingly popular since the early 1990s. The distributed combination of optical amplification and photodetection seems promissing in terms of obtaining a large unsaturated output photocurrent and external quantum efficiency, since it allows a continuous extraction of electron-hole pairs with a nearly constant optical power inside a waveguide device. Combined with a traveling-wave structure in order to achieve high electrical bandwidth, key figures of merit for photodetector operation can potentially be largely improved. The downside for these potential improvements is the production of background current generated by absorption of amplified spontaneous emission, increased noise due to the near-equilibrium of events that produce and destroy photons, and fabrication complexity. The book provides, to the best of our knowledge, the first in-depth theoretical study and experimental demonstration ofthis distributed combination, through the study of the novel devices called traveling-wave Amplifier Photodetectors, or TAP detectors.
Autorenporträt
Daniel Lasaosa received his BS in 1995 from Universidad Publica de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain, and his MS and PhD in Electrical Engineering in 1997 and 2004 from UC Santa Barbara, USA. His research interests include photodetectors and noise. He was part of the Spanish team in the 31st International Mathematical Olympiad held in Beijing in 1990.
