Resonant cavity-enhanced (RCE) photodetectors
Abstract
The photosensitivity characteristics of resonant cavity-enhanced (RCE) photodetectors are investigated. The photodetectors were formed by integrating the active absorption region into a resonant cavity composed of top and bottom (buried) mirrors. A general expression for quantum efficiency for RCE photodetectors was derived taking the external losses into account. Drastic enhancement in quantum efficiency is demonstrated at resonant wavelengths …
