摘要
We have designed, fabricated and characterized InGaAs/InP Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode (APD) 32 x 32 arrays optimized for operation at both 1.06 and 1.55 mu m wavelengths Single element devices with a thick multiplication layer thickness showed dark count rate as low as 60 kHz at a 3 V overbias, while photon detection efficiencies at a wavelength of 1.55 mu m exceed 30% at 2 V overbias. Back illuminated 32 x 32 detector arrays exhibited breakdown uniformity of greater than 97% and excellent dark current uniformity. Detector arrays were integrated with low-noise read-out integrated circuits for an imaging demonstration. 3D imaging was demonstrated using 1.06 micron detector arrays.
