摘要
We have investigated intraband absorptions in GaN/AlN QDs for ultrafast all-optical switching applications at telecommunication wavelengths. Using time-resolved pump-probe experiments the electron lifetime in the excited state of the QDs is measured to be 165 fs. Intraband absorption saturation experiments reveal a record low switching energy. We then investigate quantum cascade ISB photodetectors based on GaN/AlGaN QWs and show that mesa devices with 17 x 17 mu m(2) size provide a frequency response above 10 GHz at 1.5 mu m wavelength.
