  • Abstract
    A novel one-dimensional array of photodetectors for the near infrared up to 1.55 μm is reported. The device is based on polycrystalline Ge thermally evaporated on silicon, and consists of 16 pixels at a 100 μm pitch. A responsivity of 16 mA/W was measured at 1.3 μm with nanosecond response time
