Design and Packaging of 100 GHz Bandwidth and 10 mW Output RF Power Photodiodes/Photodetectors

随着容量需求的增加，光纤中的每通道比特率已经增加到100 Gb/S以上 光通信系统。此外，使用毫米波频段的无线通信将是 用于5G。光子学辅助的毫米波无线通信被认为是一种具有成本效益的 而且前景看好的解决方案。用于测量设备的光子学辅助毫米波产生已经被 被认为是一种可行的技术，特别是对于超过70 GHz的频率。以上所有申请 需要一个关键设备，即宽带光电二极管/光电探测器。 不幸的是，宽带光电二极管的技术和专业知识是垄断的。由两家公司在 日本和德国；到目前为止，加拿大公司还没有在这个市场站稳脚跟。 该项目将开发一种带宽为100 GHz、输出功率为10 mW的光纤射频功率光电探测器 辫子和1毫米射频连接器。该项目将涉及InP光电二极管芯片的设计，制造 并对芯片进行光电封装，最后进行表征。所获得的技术 将转移到渥太华的OZ光学有限公司。总结设计和性能的最终报告 光电探测器将被转移到OZ光学公司。

With the increase of capacity demand, bit rate per channel has been increased up to more 100 Gb/s in fiber optic communication systems. Moreover, wireless communications using millimeter-wave band are going to be used in 5G. Photonics assisted millimeter-wave wireless communications have been considered a cost-effective and promising solution. Photonics assisted millimeter-wave generation for measurement equipment has been considered a feasible technique, particularly for frequency of beyond 70 GHz. All the above applications require a key device that is broadband photodiodes/photodetectors. Unfortunately, the technology and expertise of broadband photodiodes are monopolized. By two companies in Japan and Germany; to date, Canadian companies do not have a foothold in this market. This project is going to develop a 100-GHz bandwidth and 10-mW output RF power photodetector with fiber pigtail and 1-mm RF connector. The project will involve in design of InP photodiode chips, fabrication of the chips and optical and electrical packaging of the chips, and finally characterization. The acquired technologies will be transferred to OZ Optics Ltd. In Ottawa. A final report summarizing the design and performance of the photodetector will be transferred to OZ Optics.
