The patented photodiodes are high reliability structures that accept light in a surface-normal geometry, achieve industry-leading responsivity, up to 0.85 amps per watt at 40G, and are capable of handling high optical input power. This patented surface normal design does not require complicated semiconductor optics to illuminate the photodiode, such as spot size converters which are necessary for waveguide photodiodes. As a result, a product based upon these patented photodiodes covers both the C and L wavelength bands, is indifferent to optical polarization states, and has superior reliability compared to mesa waveguide photodiodes. Indifference to polarization changes in leading edge optical communication systems is important in maintaining transmission integrity due to the constantly changing polarization state of the incoming light.

"Proprietary, patented technology like this helps us differentiate our products in the market," says Robin (Rob) Risser, President and General Manager of Picometrix and CFO of API. "Our products always meet or exceed stringent industry performance and reliability standards and offer best in class value to our customers. Our patented photodiodes can be used for both C band and L band wavelengths and as a result can simplify customer material management and reduce their inventory requirements. In addition, indifference to polarization changes improves our product uniformity across operating conditions which can contribute to improved customer manufacturing yield. Our high reliability planar photodiode structure also offers our customers the comfort of long term reliability they have become accustomed to with lower speed legacy systems. We look forward to continuing to provide superior customer value through our technological leadership in high speed optical receivers for the next generation 40G and emerging 100G telecommunications equipment."
