An optical triplex transceiver (TRx) module, which consists of thin-film filter (TFF)-attached wavelength-division multiplexer (WDM) and photodiode (PD) carriers, has been fabricated using a silica planar lightwave circuit (PLC) hybrid integration technology. Two types of TFFs were attached to a diced sidewall of a silica-terraced PLC platform to realize the TFF-attached WDM. The PD carriers with a 45deg mirror, on which receiving surface-illuminated PDs were bonded, were assembled with the PLC platform to form receiver (Rx) parts. As the main performances of the packaged TRx module, a very clear transmitter (Tx) eye pattern and minimum Rx sensitivity of -25.7 dBm were obtained under a 1.25-Gb/s Tx-Rx operation for digital applications. For an analog Rx application, a module responsivity of about 0.8 A/W was achieved, and a second-order intermodulation distortion value of less than -70 dBc at an optical modulation index of 40% was obtained under a two-tone test of 400 and 450 MHz [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The high-resistivity polycrystalline CdZnTe thick films are grown by thermal evaporation method. The electrical properties of polycrystalline CdZnTe having high resistivity were investigated using time of flight technique. We have measured the average drift mobility and mobility lifetime of polycrystalline CdZnTe. In the comparison of annealed samples at different conditions, the variation of resistivity in the polycrystalline CdZnTe is considered to be related to the fluctuation of carrier concentration. From the analysis of transient photocurrent of time of flight based on multiple trapping model, we have found that the two dominant localized states which is considered to be related to the Cd vacancy (Ev + 0.36 eV), and grain boundary defects (Ev + 0.75 eV) play a dominant role in increasing resistivity through compensation process.
