Abstract

We demonstrate a 67 GHz bandwidth silicon-contacted germanium waveguide p-i-n photodetector operating at −1 V with 6.8 fF capacitance. The dark current is below 4 nA. The responsivity is 0.74 A/W at 1550 nm and 0.93 A/W at 1310 nm wavelength. 56 Gbps on-off-keying data reception is demonstrated with clear open eye diagrams in both the C-band and O-band.
