A high-power and high-linearity photodetector module with 25 dBm RF output power at 10 GHz

We have developed a packaged photodetector module with an RF output power of almost 25 dBm at 10 GHz and more than 23 dBm at 15 GHz. To the best of our knowledge, these are the highest RF power levels ever reported from fully packaged 1.55 μm photodetectors without electrical amplification.
