High-efficiency In1−xGaxAsyP1−y/InP photodetectors with selective wavelength response between 0.9 and 1.7 μm

Abstract
We report In1−xGaxAsyP1−y/InP photodiode detectors with external quantum efficiencies of 50–70% without antireflection coating. The short‐ and long‐wavelength response limits of these very efficient detectors can be compositionally tuned to lie anywhere in the wavelength range 0.9<λ<1.7 μm.
