We report the first successful demonstration of a metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector (MSMPD) fabricated on low-temperature InGaAs grown on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for long wavelength fiber optic applications. Interdigitated MSMPD's with finger widths and spacings of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0-mum have been tested using a femtosecond pulsed laser and high-speed electrooptic sampling. A FWHM pulsed response of 2 and 1.3 ps has been measured from low temperature In0.25Ga0.75As and In0.35Ga0.65As, respectively. The latter is the fastest response reported to data for a photodetector capable of detection to wavelengths as long as 13 mum.
