  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. In summary, a lifetime over 1.0×105 hours at 50°C was attained by the simple mesa-structure InAlGaAs-InAlAs superlattice avalanche photodiodes (SLAPDs) for the first time. This lifetime is in a sufficient level for 2.5-10 Gbit/s high-speed LAN and data-link applications.
