Photodiode compression due to current-dependent capacitance

We present photodetector compression measurements and simulations to demonstrate the consequences of absorption in undepleted regions of p-i-n photodiodes. Specifically, this absorption can cause compression when operated above a few milliamps due to a current-dependent capacitance.
