Abstract :
Freedom Photonics has demonstrated a semiconductor modulator with 1.2V static Vπ and >20 GHz bandwidth, and photodetectors that operate linearly up to 100mA photocurrent and with a bandwidth exceeding 20 GHz. These components will form the basis for high performance RF photonic links with low noise figure, high SFDR and realistic operating optical power in the 100´s mW range.
