Abstract :
This talk reviews our work with avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with unique vertical-illumination structure. The APD features 3-dB bandwidth of 18.5 GHz with multiplied responsivity of 9.1 A/W, satisfying requirements for 100-Gb/s systems. Further high-speed characteristics targeting 50-Gb/s are also discussed.
