Abstract :
A study is presented of the photocurrent behaviour of p-i-n diodes having GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs MQW absorption regions for varying incident power, incident wavelength and barrier height, given by the Al fraction x. Optimum results for applications in high power oscillators are expected to be obtained for 0.10.15Ga0.85As barriers.
