Abstract
High-speed, long-wavelength, telecom and datacom 10 Gb/s and 25 Gb/s avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are sensitive to excessive optical input power. We explain this failure mechanism and demonstrate an optimized device structure reaching over +6 dBm optical damage threshold and verify it by testing in volume production.
