Heterojunction III - V alloy photodetectors for high-sensitivity 1.06-µm optical receivers.
Abstract
It is pointed out that currently promising technical developments related to the Nd-YAG laser technology at 1.06 micrometers cannot be implemented because of the absence of a suitable detector. Such a detector could possibly be provided in connection with new advances related to the development of the heterojunction III-V alloy photodiode. Details of detector requirements for the considered applications are discussed along with approaches to satisfy these requirements by an appropriate detector design.
