Y. Suzaki et al., NOVEL 1.3-MU-M MQW LIGHT-EMISSION-AND-DETECTION DIODE WITH FLAT RESPONSIVITY CHARACTERISTICS, Electronics Letters, 31(16), 1995, pp. 1388-1389
A novel 1.3 mu m MQW light-emission-and-derection diode including a bu
lk detection layer is proposed for use in time-compression-multiplexin
g transmission systems. In the lasing mode. this diode has a threshold
current of 9mA at 25 degrees C and a maximum output power of > 10 mW
at 85 degrees C. In the detection mode: the polarisation dependence of
its responsivity, as a detection operation: is < 0.5 dB and the wavel
ength dependence of the responsivity is only 1 dB at a wavelength 35nm
longer than the lasing wavelength.
