Using time-domain transient simulation to characterize nonlinear intermodulation distortions in photodetectors

We propose a universal simulating solution to characterize the OIP3 of most kinds of photodetectors using Silvaco TCAD simulation tools. For a normal PIN photodetector and a unitraveling-carrier photodetector, a fine agreement was observed in experimental results and simulation results. We believe t...

Summary:We propose a universal simulating solution to characterize the OIP3 of most kinds of photodetectors using Silvaco TCAD simulation tools. For a normal PIN photodetector and a unitraveling-carrier photodetector, a fine agreement was observed in experimental results and simulation results. We believe that this solution could be useful in designing and optimizing high-power photodetectors.
