متن کاملExcess Noise in GaAs Avalanche Photodiodes with Thin Multiplication Regions
It is well known that the gain–bandwidth product of an avalanche photodiode can be increased by utilizing a thin multiplication region. Previously, measurements of the excess noise factor of InP–InGaAsP–InGaAs avalanche photodiodes with separate absorption and multiplication regions indicated that this approach could also be employed to reduce the multiplication noise. This paper presents a sys...
متن کاملHigh speed InAs electron avalanche photodiodes overcome the conventional gain-bandwidth product limit.
High bandwidth, uncooled, Indium Arsenide (InAs) electron avalanche photodiodes (e-APDs) with unique and highly desirable characteristics are reported. The e-APDs exhibit a 3dB bandwidth of 3.5 GHz which, unlike that of conventional APDs, is shown not to reduce with increasing avalanche gain. Hence these InAs e-APDs demonstrate a characteristic of theoretically ideal electron only APDs, the abs...
متن کاملGeneralized Excess Noise Factor for Avalanche Photodiodes of Arbitrary Structure
The output current of a n avalanche photodiode (APD) fluctuates in the absence of light a s well a s in its presence. The noise in this current arises from three sources: randomness in the number and in the positions at which dark carrier pairs a r e generated, randomness in the photon arrival number, and randomness in the carrier multiplication process. The volume dark current in many multilay...
متن کاملExcess Noise Characteristics of Al0:8Ga0:2As Avalanche Photodiodes
The avalanche noise characteristics of Al0 8Ga0 2As have been measured in a range of p-i-n and n-i-p diodes with i-region widths varying from 1.02 to 0.02 m. While thick bulk diodes exhibit low excess noise from electron initiated multiplication, owing to the large ratio (1 ), the excess noise of diodes with 0 31 m were found to be greatly reduced by the effects of dead space. The thinnest diod...
