Calculate the responsivity of a p-i-n photodiode at 1.3 μm and 1.55 μm if the quantum efficiency is 80%. (Planck constant h = 6.626x10^-34 m^2kg/s, the speed of light in vacuum c = 3x10^8 m/s, the elementary charge on the electron = 1.6x10^-19 C).

Step 1
First, we need to know the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 1.3 μm and 1.55 μm. We can use the formula: E = hc/λ where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength. For 1.3 μm: E = (6.626x10^-34 J.s)(3x10^8 m/s)/(1.3x10^-6 m) Show more…

The quantum efficiency of a particular silicon APD is 80% for the detection of radiation at a wavelength of 0.9 μm. When the incident optical power is 0.5 μW, the output current from the device (after avalanche gain) is 11 μA. Determine the multiplication factor of the photodiode under these conditions.
