Abstract

Coherent optical link Dynamic range Integrated optics Optical modulation optical phased locked loop Optical waveguides Phase locked loops Phase modulation Photodetectors Photonic integrated circuits Propagation delay Radio frequency
Optical phase locked loop (OPLL) photonic integrated circuits (PIC) are critical for the high dynamic range phase modulated RF/photonic links. They provide for linear phase demodulation. A challenge for implementing the OPLL PICs is how to reduce the loop propagation delay. In this paper we analyze the delay of a waveguide photodetector, which is a critical component of an OPLL. We also introduce and experimentally validate a counter propagating photodetector device concept. This enables the elimination of the propagation delay due to the finite length of a waveguide photodetector.
