Abstract :
The two-tone third-order intermodulation distortions of an InGaAs/InP modified charge compensated uni-traveling carrier photodiode with both absorbing and non-absorbing depleted region are characterized. Around 12 GHz modulation frequency, the third-order intercept point is >40 dBm over a wide range of photocurrents.
