Numerous modern technologies are reliant on the low-phase noise and exquisite timing stability of microwave signals. Substantial progress has been made in field photonics, whereby low-noise signals generated by down-conversion ultrastable optical references using a frequency comb
Abstract The fast development of mid-wave infrared photonics has increased the demand for high-performance photodetectors that operate in this spectral range. However, signal-to-noise ratio, regarded as a primary figure merit detection, is strongly limited by high dark current narrow-bandgap materials. Therefore, conventional such HgCdTe require cryogenic temperatures to avoid excessively current. To address challenge, we report an avalanche photodiode design using photon-trapping structures...
