Abstract
Conference Title: 2018 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC) Conference Start Date: 2018, March 11 Conference End Date: 2018, March 15 Conference Location: San Diego, CA, USA We demonstrate a silicon-based surface-illuminated CMOS-compatible broadband photodiode with ≤30ps FWHM and above 55% EQE at 850nm for up to 50Gb/s by using photon-trapping micro/nano-structures. This is the fastest reported response for a Silicon photodiode.
