Monolithically integrated millimeter-wave photonic emitter for 60-GHz fiber-radio applications

A uni-traveling-carrier refracting-facet photodiode, a short-stub bias circuit, and a patch antenna were monolithically integrated to make a compact and low-cost millimeter-wave photonic emitter for fiber-radio applications. The device emits the maximum effective radiation power of 17/spl plusmn/3 dBm at 60 GHz.
