    High-speed >90% quantum-efficiency p-i-n photodiodes with a resonance wavelength adjustable in the 795-835 nm range
    (A I P Publishing LLC, 1999-02-22) Özbay, Ekmel; Kimukin, İ.; Bıyıklı, Necmi; Aytür, O.; Gökkavas, M.; Ulu, G.; Ünlü, M. S.; Mirin, R. P.; Bertness, K. A.; Christensen, D. H.
    We report GaAs/AlGaAs-based high-speed, high-efficiency, resonant cavity enhanced p-i-n photodiodes. The devices were fabricated by using a microwave-compatible fabrication process. By using a postprocess recess etch, we tuned the resonance wavelength from 835 to 795 nm while keeping the peak efficiencies above 90%. The maximum quantum efficiency was 92% at a resonance wavelength of 823 nm. The photodiode had an experimental setup-limited temporal response of 12 ps. When the system response is deconvolved, the 3 dB bandwidth corresponds to 50 GHz, which is in good agreement with our theoretical calculations.
