The paper discusses available means of efficiency improvement and then describes the structure and characteristics of a component consisting of mono-mode inverted rib waveguides and mesa-photodiodes; the form and dimensions of the structure are given. Test results are presented.enintegrated opticsintegrated optoelectronicsoptical information processingoptical waveguidesphotodetectorsphotodiodeswaveguide integrated photodiode optimisationelectronic signal processing efficiencymonomode inverted rib waveguidevertical couplingoptimal couplingmesa-photodiodes621conference paper
