2 Highlights- Improvement in UTC Response New 7x15 Old 7x15 Optical power 50mW Devices were illuminated by two optical telecommunication wavelength lasers of different wavelength coupled to the device by a single lens ended fibre focused upon the facet, with bias applied via Coplanar probes The output was measured directly by an electrical spectrum analyser or as IF generated from a calibrated mixer module.. The previously fabricated devices exhibit a sharp fall-off (-10dB/10GHz approx.) in output at low frequencies due to parasitic capacitance The new devices exhibit a shallower fall-off (-3dB/10GHz approx.) resulting in a 40dB improvement in output above 90 GHz. With improved responsivity by prevention of electrode damage during via etching and optimisation facet cleaving it is expected that the response will be much improved. Output of UTCs up to 110 GHz
