چکیده
In the present work we model a Multiquantum Well structure Separate Absorption and Charge Multiplication Avalanche Photodiode (MQW-SACM-APD), while the Absorption region coincide with the MQW. We consider the nonuniformity of electric field using split-step method in active region. This model is based on the carrier rate equations in the different regions of the device. Using the model we obtain the photocurrent, and dark current. As an example, InGaAs/InP SACM-APD and MQW-SACM-APD are simulated. There is a good agreement between the simulation and experimental results. Keywords—Avalanche Photodiode, Physical Model, Multiquantum Well, Split Step Method.

Thyristor rectifiers are widely used in electric railways in order to control the speed. As a consequence of their usage in addition to substantial input lead current, an enormous amount of harmonics is injected into the grid. To avoid such harmonics as well as reactive power compensation, reactive power hybrid filters consisting of active and passive filters are utilized. Regarding different p...

We investigate quantum efficiency limitations in InGaAsP/InP multiquantum-well ~MQW! laser diodes emitting at 1.5 mm. At room temperature, the internal differential efficiency above threshold is found to be reduced mainly by increasing Auger recombination and spontaneous emission within the quantum wells. These carrier loss increments are commonly assumed negligible due to MQW carrier density c...
