摘要
The authors demonstrate an integratable high-responsivity high-bandwidth long wavelength InGaAs-InP-InAlAs avalanche photodiode based on an asymmetric twin-waveguide structure. The device has an external quantum efficiency of 48 +/- 1.5% at lambda = 1.55 mum, a 3-dB bandwidth of 28.5 +/- 0.5 GHz with gain of up to 4, and a fiber-to-waveguide misalignment tolerance of +/-1.0 mum in the vertical and +/-1.3 mum in the horizontal directions resulting in a 1-dB sensitivity penalty.
