This paper presents in detail the computed results regarding the effect of the absorption layer width, bias voltage, temperature, wavelength and direction of the incident light on the transit time limited frequency response of photodiodes for optical communications. The simulation model is quite general and may be applied to photodiodes with an arbitrary electric field profile and non-uniform illumination. The results were obtained for p-i-n structures with an absorption layer of In0.53Ga0.47As and they show that better bandwidths may be obtained for shorter devices, lower temperature and, when the light incident on the p+ side, for shorter wavelengths.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
