High-Speed High Effiency Large Area Resonant Cavity Enhanced p-I-n Photodiodes for Multimode Fiber Communications

Cataloged from PDF version of article.In this letter, we report AlGaAs–GaAs p-i-n photodiodes with a 3-dB bandwidth in excess of 10 GHz for devices as large as 60- m diameter. Resonant cavity enhanced photodetection is employed to improve quantum efficiency, resulting in more than 90% peak quantum efficiency at 850 nm
