  • Abstract
    Planar-structure InP/InGaAsP/InGaAs avalanche photo-diodes have been realised by using a VPE-growth technique and a Be+ implanted guard ring. Sensitivity measurement has been performed at 1.3 ¿m and 1.8 Gbit/s. The minimum average received level required for 10¿9 BER was ¿31.3 dBm, which was 1.2 dB better than the value for the Ge-APD.
