Abstract

A photonic-crystal photodetector having a <1-fF junction capacitance, 1-A/W responsivity, and 40-Gbit/s eye opening was demonstrated. Its resistor-loaded configuration unveiled a light-to-voltage conversion with a kV/W efficiency without amplifiers, promising for an fJ/bit-energy on-chip receiver.
