3.1 Introduction
The landscape for advances in photodetectors and optical receivers has experienced significant change since Optical Fiber Telecommunications V. The quests for higher speed p-i-n detectors and lower noise avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with high gain-bandwidth product remain. To a great extent, high-speed structures have coalesced to evanescently-coupled waveguide devices; bandwidths exceeding 140 GHz have been reported. A primary APD breakthrough has been the development of Ge on Si separate-absorption-and-multiplication devices ...
