High-speed and high-photocurrent InP-based uni-traveling-carrier photodiode by Meng, Qianqian

“…Uni-traveling-carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) has attracted much attention since it was proposed in 1997. Compared to conventional PIN-PD, UTC-PD has a unique mode of operation where only faster electrons serve as the active carriers, which can reduce the space charge effect and lead to much higher current, and higher speed operations. …”
