A New Germanium Photodiode with Extended Long-Wavelength Response

Abstract: A new germanium photodiode having an extremely uniform quantum efficiency from the visible to 1.65 micro. has been developed. The device consists of a lithium-drifted junction in which the light enters in a, direction parallel to the junction, thereby allowing absorption path lengths of several centimeters, if desired, with essentially zero dead layer. Sensitive areas up to about 10 mm in one dimension and several centimeters in the other dimension are possible. Typical characteristics for a device 2 cm long h… Show more

“…Their noise e quivalent power (NEP) is -10-15 W/HZ I/2 from the visible to beyond 1600 nm. Their stability and near quantum flat response of -0.6 has led to the suggestion that they b e used as replacements for thermopile radiation detectors [96].…”
