Abstract
Various embodiments provide a PIN-photodetector configured to detect light characterized by a particular wavelength range. The photodetector includes an absorber region including a material having an absorption coefficient of greater than 10cmin the particular wavelength range. The absorber region has an absorber thickness in a direction that is substantially parallel to a detection axis of the photodetector. The photodetector further includes a collector region including a material that is substantially transparent to the particular wavelength range. The collector region has a collector thickness in the direction that is substantially parallel to the detection axis. The collector thickness is greater than the absorber thickness. The absorber region does not spatially overlap with the collector region. The photodetector is configured to operate at a bandwidth of at least 50 GHz.
