Research abstract
CURRENT DEVICE TECHNOLOGY IS PROGRESSING TO THE POINT THAT NEW PACKAGING TECHNIQUES ARE REQUIRED TO ALLOW THE FULL HIGH SPEED CAPABILITIES OF THESE DEVICES TO BE USED. CURRENT FIBER OPTIC PACKAGING IS LIMITED BY MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS TO BELOW 20 GHZ. NEW PACKAGE DESIGNS ARE NEEDED TO PUSH THE FREQUENCY CAPABILITY OF THESE DEVICES INTO MILLIMETER WAVE USES. WE PROPOSE TO BEGIN THIS RESEARCH WITH A FIBER-COUPLED PACKAGED PHOTODIODE DESIGNED TO WORK AT 30 GHZ.
