InP Based Avalanche Photodiode Arrays for Mid Infrared Applications

Abstract

This program will develop avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and APD arrays for applications in the MIR. Results to date include photodiodes operating at 2.5 microns, theoretical designs for absorption regions out to 5 microns, and initial results on strain-compensated absorption regions.
