Abstract
The advantage of the graded superlattice layer over the abrupt junction is demonstrated for the continuous wave (CW) and pulse responses of InGaAs metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors (MSM PDs). The measured pulsewidth of 44 ps for the 0.75 mu m MSM PD with the graded superlattice layer when corrected for the measurement system bandwidth implies an impulse response of 22 ps.
