Design and characterisation of InGaAs high speed photodiodes, InGaAs/InAlAs avalanche photodiodes and novel AlAsSb based avalanche photodiodes

Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) can provide higher sensitivity, when the noise is dominated by electronic noise, than conventional p-i-n photodiodes due to its internal gain achieved via the impact ionisation process. High speed and high sensitivity photodetectors operating at the wavelength of 1.55 m...
