Voxtel has demonstrated a new linear-mode APD design which combines the noise characteristics of silicon with the near infrared sensitivity of InGaAs. Unlike approaches in which a silicon multiplier is fused to a III-V absorber, Voxtel’s monolithic APD wafers are grown epitaxially on InP substrates, using only lattice-matched III-V alloys. Conventional III-V APDs which use InGaAs absorbers typically have bulk InP multiplication layers, characterized by an ionization coefficient ratio of k~0.4. Download PDF.
