  • Abstract
    Pulse responses of InP/InGaAsP/InGaAs APDs have been studied at 1.3 and 1.55 ¿m. A faster response rise-up characteristic was observed at 1.55 ¿m than at 1.3 ¿m. This result indicates that response speed depends on the hole generating region and hole pile-up at the heterojunction is decreased by introducing a hole-acceleration layer such as InGaAsP.
