Abstract
A monolithic pair of InP/Ga/sub 0.47/In/sub 0.53/As/InP metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors with a strained Al/sub 0.1/In/sub 0.9/P cap layer was fabricated. The dual photodetectors exhibit closely matched frequency characteristics. Effective laser intensity noise suppression and a beat signal enhancement in 100 MHz balanced heterodyne detection was experimentally demonstrated.
