Abstract
This paper addresses the systematic approach to optimize series inductance
in the inductively peaked pin photodiode for high speed operation beyond 100
Gb/s. For this end, peak distortion analysis is introduced in addition to
group delay dispersion technique. Through analytical analysis and comprehensive
numerical simulations, inductance values are calculated to optimize vertical
eye-opening and signal-to-noise ratio. For verification, an optical waveguide
integrated pin photodiode with optimized inductance is fabricated and measured.
Using the optical pulse measurement setup, its pulse response is measured,
and a full-width at half maximum of 7.34 ps is obtained. The fabricated module
is tested using 107 Gb/s return-to-zero signal and shows excellent eye-opening.
