Abstract

A hybrid integration of optoelectronics devices on silica-based planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) is one of the promising technologies for utilizing the versatile functions of PLCs, as well as semiconductor optoelectronic devices. Recently, a hybrid integration of monolithic optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) on a silica-based PLC has been reported for high-speed applications.¹ However, the operation speed of the reported modules lags behind the state-of-the-art OEICs. This paper describes a high-speed hybrid-integrated photoreceiver module with a very wide 3-dB bandwidth of 8 GHz. The module employed a silica-based PLC platform and a two-channel monolithic photoreceiver array. The monolithic photoreceiver was comprised of waveguide p-i-n photodiodes (WGPDs) and InGaAs/InAlAs HEMTs:²
