Abstract :
We have designed, fabricated, and characterized a novel RCE PD that exhibits a wider and flatter peak quantum efficiency when compared with a standard RCE PD. Unlike conventional RCE devices, these devices that have increased tolerance to wavelength variations can be used in short haul optical communications complementing VCSELs
