- Modelling of optoelectronic circuits based on resonant tunneling diodesPublication . Rei, João F. M.; Foot, James A.; Rodrigues, Gil; Figueiredo, José; Costa, M. F. M.Resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) are the fastest pure electronic semiconductor devices at room temperature. When integrated with optoelectronic devices they can give rise to new devices with novel functionalities due to their highly nonlinear properties and electrical gain, with potential applications in future ultra-wide-band communication systems (see e.g. EU H2020 iBROW Project). The recent coverage on these devices led to the need to have appropriated simulation tools. In this work, we present RTD based optoelectronic circuits simulation packages to provide circuit signal level analysis such as transient response. We will present and discuss the models, and evaluate the simulation packages.
- Resonant tunneling diode photodetectors for optical communicationsPublication . Rodrigues, Gil C.; Rei, João F.; Foot, James A.; Alharbi, Khalid H.; Al-Khalidi, Abdullah; Wang, Jue; Wasige, Edward; Figueiredo, José; Costa, M. F. M.Resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) have been extensively studied due to their potential applications in very high speed electronics, optical communications, and terahertz generation. In this work, we report the latest results on the characterization of the resonant tunneling diode photo-detectors (RTD-PDs), incorporating InGaAlAs light sensitive layers for sensing at the telecommunication wavelength of lambda = 1310 nm. We have measured responsivities up to 28.8 A/W and light induced voltage shift of 204.8 V/W for light injection powers around 0.25 mW.
