Abstract

The static and dynamic characteristics of waveguide photodetectors with an absorbing region based on InGaAs/GaAs quantum well-dots were studied at room temperature. The absorption band of InGaAs/GaAs quantum well-dots is in the spectral range from 900 to 1100 nm. The waveguide photodetectors have a width of 50 μm and a length of the absorbing region from 92 μm to 400 μm. A low dark current density (1.1 and 22 μA/cm2 at –1 and –20 V) and cut off frequency of 5.6 GHz, limited by the time constant of a parasitic equivalent electric RC-circuit, were obtained.
