Abstract
A single optical receiver having a photo-detector with a wide optical bandwidth and high efficiency within the wide optical bandwidth, the photo-detector comprising: a first diode region of first doping type for receiving light; a second diode region of second doping type and of second thickness; an active region for converting the received light to an electronic signal, the active region having a third thickness and configured to reside between the first diode region and the second diode region; and a reflector coupled to the second diode region and having a silicon layer with a fourth thickness, the silicon layer residing between silicon oxide layers of fifth thicknesses, wherein the active region is configured to absorb the light of wavelengths of less than 900 nm, and wherein the reflector is configured to reflect the light of wavelengths from a range of 1260 nm to 1380 nm.
