In this paper, we report a highly-efficient and wavelength-selective separate absorption and multiplication (SAM) avalanche photodiode (APD) with a thin (500 /spl Aring/) absorbing layer. The improved characteristics of the photodetector were obtained by placing the absorption and multiplication layers in a Fabry-Perot cavity. An external quantum efficiency of 77% was achieved with a spectral linewidth of less than 4 nm and an avalanche gain of more than 50. We also present the experimental results on a RECAP having an operating wavelength /spl lambda//sub 0//spl ap/1.3 /spl mu/m with a very narrow spectral response. The absorption takes place in a thin In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As layer placed in an InP cavity. The InP p-i-n structure was wafer bonded to a high-reflectivity GaAs-AlAs quarter-wavelength Bragg reflector.
