Abstract
We demonstrate fast and efficient germanium-on-silicon p-i-n photodetectors for optical communications, with responsivities as high as 0.89 and 0.75 A/W at 1.3 and 1.55 μm, respectively, time response 2.5 Gb/s integrated receivers for the second and third fiber spectral windows.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
