Abstract: We report on a high-performance mid-wavelength infrared avalanche photodetector (APD) with separate absorption and multiplication regions. InAs is used as the absorber material and high-bandgap AlAs0.13Sb0.87 is used as the multiplication material. At room temperature, the APD's peak response wavelength is 3.27 mu m, and the 50% cutoff wavelength is 3.5 mu m. The avalanche gain reaches 13.1 and the responsivity is 8.09 A/W at 3.27 mu m when the applied reverse bias voltage is 14.6 V. The measured peak detectivity D* of the device is 2.05 x 10(9) cm Hz(0.5)/W at 3.27 mu m. (C) 2020 Chinese Laser Press
