摘要
By taking advantage of the negative differential resistance characteristics of a resonant tunneling heterostructure, we have developed a novel photodetector which exhibits responsivities and gain-bandwidth-efficiency products in excess of 10 A/W and 10 GHz.A/W, respectively, Low switching energy (30 fJ) and bit-error rates of less than 10(-9) at data rates at 2 Gb/s have been achieved with this optically-switched resonant-tunneling diode.
