Abstract:
We have demonstrated balanced coherent detection using distributed balanced traveling-wave photodetectors integrated with single mode polymer optical waveguides. Balanced distributed traveling-wave photodetectors having 3 dB bandwidth of 20 GHz exhibited 20 dB signal to noise ratio improvement measured at 15 GHz modulation frequency in a balanced coherent detection demonstration.
