We demonstrate a compact, high speed Ge photodetector efficiently butt-coupled with a large cross-section silicon-on-insulate (SOI) waveguide in which the Ge p-i-n junction is placed in the horizontal direction to enable very high speed operation. The demonstrated photodetector has an active area of only 0.8x10 mu m(2), greater than 32 GHz optical bandwidth, and a responsivity of 1.1 A/W at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Very importantly the device can readily be integrated with high performance wavelength-division-multiplexing filters based on large cross-section SOI waveguide to form monolithic integrated silicon photonics receivers for multichannel terabit data transmission applications.
