PHOTODIODE ARRAY AND OPTICAL MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM RECEIVER
摘要
Provided is a photodiode array that is capable of outputting an electric signal with a large electric power and an optical microwave transmission system receiver that supplies an electric power with the aid of an optical fiber and does not require the electric power line from the external. An input modulation light is branched and input to a plurality of photodiode elements (1), electric output terminals (5) of the plurality of photodiode elements (1) are connected in parallel to each other, and a combined electric output is extracted. The electric output terminal (5) of the photodiode array configured as described above is connected to an antenna (7) without an intermediation of an amplifier circuit.
