Abstract

In this paper, 300K responsivity and dark current measurements of MBE grown p-n(AlGaAs), p-i-n(InGaAs MQW) and p-i-n(InAsQDs, InGaAs QW, GaAs QW) photodetectors prepared on n+-GaAs substrate are presented. Maximum responsivity of 1.0 A/W at 880nm wavelength and absorption range extending to 1,170nm were observed for p-i-n sample with multiple quantum structures as the active region. Significant reduction on the dark current was also observed by inserting an AlGaAs blocking layer within the active region of p-i-n photodetector.
