Abstract

We demonstrate a GaAsSb resonant-cavity-enhanced p-i-n photodetector grown on a GaAs substrate. The device exhibited a peak external quantum efficiency of 54% at the wavelength of 1.3 μm and a full-width at half-maximum of 8 nm. The breakdown voltage was 12 V and avalanche gain up to ten was observed. The absorption coefficient (/spl alpha/) of GaAs/sub 0.65/Sb/sub 0.35/ at 1.3 μm is estimated to be /spl sim/7.3×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> /cm.
