Impact ionisation in InGaAs, InA1As and InGaAs/GaAsSb superlattices for near infrared avalanche photodetectors

This work investigates the avalanche characteristics of ln0.53Ga0.47As, In0.52Al0.48As and type-II heterojunction material systems for applications in telecommunication and next generation mid-wave infrared avalanche photodiodes (APDs). This work carries out the first ever reported excess noise meas...
