Abstract

Measurements of photodetector saturation current on both the time and frequency domains are reported. In time-domain measurements, a 1560-nm mode-locked fiber laser generates 3-ps pulses at a 40-MHz repetition rate. In frequency-domain measurements, a 200-mW fiber-amplified 1550-nm cw diode laser is small-signal rf modulated by a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). Details of measurements, including the bias dependence, simulation results, build-up time of the space-charge field, and comparison between the time- and frequency-domain measurements are discussed.
