Abstract :
The high power performance of an ultrafast GaInAs p-i-n photodiode photodetector with integrated optical waveguide and biasing network is demonstrated. Up to about +20 dBm optical peak power the FWHM of 9 ps remains nearly constant proving the applicability in EDFA-based 40 Gbit/s receivers
