Abstract :
In this paper, we review our recent work on novel high-speed photonic InP components and their application. In detail, the paper is concerned with ultra broadband travelling-wave photo-detectors, high-speed waveguide modulators, as well as novel electroabsorption transceiver elements. Besides the basic device concepts and properties, the employment of the high-speed photonic components in a mm-wave fiber-wireless network is experimentally demonstrated, showing for the first time, full-duplex broadband fiber optic transmission in a point-to-multipoint fiber-ring network. Finally, an EMC optical microwave sensor is also described.
