摘要
A new coupled-cavity resonant photodetector structure is studied to provide a flat-topped passband with steep skirts in the photoresponse. The idea is to add a low-loss cavity that is optically coupled to the absorptive cavity via an intermediate mirror. Experimental reflection spectra confirm this coupling effect. Modeling for an InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs design reveals that this new coupled-cavity structure will be able to show a 22 dB channel rejection ratio even when the optical channel spacing is as narrow as 2 nm. In addition, the design and processing tolerances for cavity-mode adjustment are also addressed. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
