Popis: The optoelectronic mixing effect in InAlAs Schottky-enhanced InGaAs-based metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors (MSM-PDs) is analyzed. The measured frequency bandwidth of the optoelectronic mixer (OEM) is less than that of a corresponding photodetector. The mixing efficiency depends on the light-modulation, local-oscillator, and mixed-signal frequencies and decreases nonlinearly with a decrease in optical power. We present a circuit model of the OEM to explain the experimental results. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
