Abstract
A monolithically integrated photodetector array used for multiwavelength receiving was
realized by growth of an ${\hbox {InP}}-{\hbox {In}}_{0.53}{\hbox {Ga}}_{0.47}{\hbox {As}}-{\hbox
{InP}}$ p-i-n structure on a GaAs/AlGaAs Fabry-Pérot filter. The filter with a
multistep cavity was fabricated by wet etching and regrowth. Each photodetector in the array
detects a different wavelength, so the array functions as a multiwavelength receiver. The
high-quality GaAs/InP heteroepitaxy was realized by employing a thin low temperature buffer
layer. The photodetector array detects four wavelength channels, whose interval is about
10 nm, around 1550 nm. A full-width half-maximum less
than 0.5 nm, a peak quantum efficiency over 15%, and
a 3-dB bandwidth of 9 GHz were simultaneously obtained in the
photodetector array.
