The present invention discloses an electro-optical mixer (1) having an electrical
signal output. The electro-optical mixer includes: a
photodiode (PD), a first terminal and a second terminal, a ground terminal, a first matching network (Z2, Z4), a second matching network (Z1, Z3), a first decoupling element (C1), and a second decoupling element (C2); the
photodiode is used to convert an incident optical
signal; wherein, the first terminal can be connected to a first
voltage source (V1) or a first
current source (I1), the second terminal can be connected to a second
voltage source (V2) or a second
current source (I2), the ground terminal is used for the
signal ground potential of the first
voltage source (V1) and the second
voltage source (V2); the first matching network is arranged on the
anode side of the
photodiode (PD), a part (Z2) of the first matching network is connected to the terminal of the second
voltage source (V2) by a switchable switch (S2), another part (Z4) of the first matching network is connected to the ground terminal by another switchable switch (S2'), the second matching network is arranged on the
cathode side of the photodiode (PD), a part (Z1) of the second matching network is connected to the terminal of the first
voltage source (V1) by a switchable switch (S1), another part (Z3) of the second matching network is connected to the ground terminal by another switchable switch (S1'), the elements of the first matching network (Z2, Z4) and the second matching network (Z1, Z3) have inductive and / or resistive and / or capacitive characteristics, the first electrical decoupling element is arranged on the
cathode side of the photodiode (PD), the second decoupling element is arranged on the
anode side of the photodiode (PD), wherein, the first decoupling element (C1) and the second decoupling element (C2) have inductive and / or resistive and / or capacitive characteristics, and during operation, the first decoupling element (C1) and the second decoupling element (C2) output the electrical signal of the photodiode (PD).
