Abstract :
High-speed high-radiance luminescent diodes for optical transmission systems have been fabricated. Proton bombardment is used for confining the area of the active region. Modulation cutoff frequencies of 170 MHz and a radiance of 11 W/ sr. cm2at a diode current of 100 mA have been measured.
