摘要
The development of waveguide avalanche photodiodes with a very thin 0.1 mum multiplication layer for use in high-speed, high-sensitivity, low-voltage-operation receivers is presented. A eta = 76%, a GB product of 180GHz, and a breakdown voltage Vb of 15V were obtained. The 10Gbit/s bit error rate measurement showed a sensitivity of -28.8dBm (BER 10(-9), PRES 2(23)-1), which is the highest sensitivity yet reported for APD receivers.
