  • Abstract
    A multilayer heterojunction device has been manufactured and used for efficient anti-Stokes light conversion. The device consists of six layers: p GaAs, n GaAs, n GaxAl1¿xAs, p GayAl1¿yAs, p GaxAl1¿xAs and p GaAs, essentially forming a GaAs photodiode coupled with a GaAlAs l.e.d. Avalanche multiplication of photoexcited carriers is used to increase the l.e.d. driving current.
