    Abstract: The present invention is a structure and method to reduce the inductance of the AC test signal path used for testing an electrical device contained within a semiconductor wafer. This extends the frequency range of testing. It enables testing the devices performance characteristics at higher frequencies than otherwise useable. It is particularly directed for testing on-wafer VCSELs. The method provides to the electrical device the characteristics of a microwave bias-tee device. An on wafer capacitor is designed into the environment of the electrical device enabling the formation and use of the three ports of a bias-tee. Preferably, the bias-tee is formed in a manner not requiring the addition of processing steps to the wafer manufacturing process. The method further provides a way to increase the capacitance of the on-wafer capacitor.

    Abstract: Techniques for measuring optical modulation amplitude (OMA) are disclosed. For example, a technique for measuring an OMA value associated with an input signal includes the following steps/operations. The input signal is applied to a photodetector, wherein the photodetector is calibrated to have a given responsivity value R, and further wherein the photodetector generates an output signal in response to the input signal. The output signal from the photodetector is applied to a radio frequency (RF) power meter, wherein the RF power meter measures the root mean squared (RMS) power value of the output signal received from the photodetector. The OMA value associated with the input signal is determined in response to the root mean squared (RMS) power value measured by the RF power meter. The OMA value may be determined as a function of a factor F derived from a relationship between an amplitude of a data signal and the RMS value of the data signal.
