Abstract :
Multiquantum well p-i-n photodiodes have been fabricated using InGaP/GaAs grown by gas-source MBE. The room temperature photocurrent spectrum of the diodes exhibits strong excitonic absorption at wavelengths near 860 nm, and a large change in the photocurrent is observed with applied bias.
