Dilute nitride resonant cavity enhanced photodetector with internal gain for the lambda similar to 1.3 mu m optical communications window

Abstract

We report on a novel dilute nitride-based resonant cavity enhanced photodetector (RCEPD) operating at 1.286 mu m. The RCEPD was fabricated using 21 pairs top and 24 pairs bottom GaAs/AlGaAs distributed Bragg reflectors for mirrors and 7 nm thick nine GaAS/Ga0.65In0.35N0.02 As-0.98 quantum wells as the absorption region.
