52 GHz bandwidth monolithically integrated WGPD/HEMT photoreceiver with large O/E conversion factor of 105 V/W

A long-wavelength monolithic photoreceiver has been fabricated using a multimode waveguide pin photodiode and an HEMT loss-compensated distributed amplifier. It provides an O/E conversion factor of 105 V/W and a 3 dB-down bandwidth of 52 GHz, which is the largest bandwidth for any integrated photoreceiver reported to date.
