Abstract

A novel packaging technique, which facilitates the alignment and coupling of a backside-illuminated InGaAs photodetector array with an array of v-groove embedded fibers, has been demonstrated. The packaged 6-element array shows a dark current of < 29 nA, a responsivity of >0.7 A/W, a rise/fall time of <1 ns, and an overall uniformity better than 5%.
