Abstract: A photodetector includes a substrate, an absorber, a first doped region, and a second doped region. The absorber includes a first region and a second region that is more heavily doped than the first region. The first doped region is positioned on the substrate such that the first doped region contacts the second region of the absorber. A portion of the first doped region is positioned between the absorber and the substrate. The second doped region is positioned on the substrate such that the second doped region contacts the first region of the absorber rather than the second region of the absorber. A portion of the second doped region is positioned between the absorber and the substrate. The portion of the second doped region extends across a majority of a width of the absorber.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes photodetectors with multiple inputs and methods of operating photodetectors with multiple inputs. An apparatus includes a substrate, an optical absorber, and an optical device. The optical absorber is positioned on the substrate. The optical absorber includes a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion along a line. The optical device produces a first optical signal and a second optical signal based on a received optical signal and directs the first optical signal through the first portion of the optical absorber in a direction substantially parallel to the line. The optical device also directs the second optical signal through the second portion of the optical absorber in the direction substantially parallel to the line.

Abstract: A photodetector includes a substrate, a first optical absorber, and a second optical absorber. The first optical absorber is disposed in the substrate along a direction of propagation of an optical signal through the substrate. The first optical absorber is offset in the substrate according to an offset of the optical signal in a direction orthogonal to the direction of propagation. The second optical absorber is disposed in the substrate along the direction of propagation of the optical signal. The second optical absorber is offset in the substrate according to the offset of the optical signal in the direction orthogonal to the direction of propagation.

Abstract: A photodetector includes a substrate, an optical absorber, a first doped region, a second doped region, and a third doped region. The optical absorber is disposed in the substrate and includes a first region and a second region. The first doped region is disposed in the substrate such that the first doped region contacts the second region of the optical absorber. The second doped region is disposed in the substrate such that the second doped region contacts the second region of the optical absorber. The second region of the optical absorber is positioned between the first doped region and the second doped region. The third doped region is disposed in the substrate and has an opposite doping relative to the first doped region and the second doped region. The first region of the optical absorber is positioned between the third doped region and the second region of the optical absorber.
