Richard Gaughan

Wireless communications of the future may offer better performance, thanks to a photodetector developed by the University of California's Integrated Photonics Laboratory. The velocity-matched distributed photodetector, developed under the leadership of Professor Ming C. Wu, has a bandwidth greater than 100 GHz and a saturation current of about 60 mA. It combines several photodetectors with microwave and optical waveguides to optimize the detection efficiency. Among its potential applications is "antenna remoting," a practice that separates an Earth station satellite antenna from the...Read full article
