In this paper, we present the design and fabrication of a newly developed high speed two-dimensional photodetector array device, and its application for optical signal processing in advanced fiber communications and advanced optical wireless communications. The PD array device configured with 6 x 6 square shape alignment arrangement was designed, which gave us multi-parallel output configuration at over 10 GHz, as well as a large photodetective area. In application for optical signal processing, a phase retrieval coherent receiver, space diversity optical wireless receiver, and its related technology will be introduced.
