High speed resonant-cavity enhanced Ge photodetectors on reflecting Si substrates for 1550 nm operation

We have fabricated high-speed resonant cavity enhanced Ge-on-SOI photodetectors, demonstrating 3 dB bandwidths of more than 12 GHz at 3 V reverse bias and a peak quantum efficiency of 59% at the resonant wavelength of 1540 nm.
