Abstract

This paper presents Si-resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) photodetector arrays that have been fabricated and packaged with silicon based amplifiers to demonstrate the feasibility of a low cost monolithic silicon photoreceiver array. The 12 × 1 photodetector arrays were designed for the PAROLI product line specification. The specification calls for 12 photodetectors with between 30 and 80 μm photodetector active area in a linear array on a 250 μm pitch.
