Abstract
We report measurements on the frequency dependence of transphasor gain using an indium antimonide etalon. Experimental results and a theoretical model indicate that the product of bandwidth and low frequency gain is approximately constant and that this constant is determined by the recombination rate of free carriers. The results should be generally applicable to devices of this type.
