High speed photodetectors are a necessary element in
broad band digital and analog optical communication systems.
In this thesis easily integrable planar high speed
photodetectors made on undoped semi-insulating (SI) GaAs
substrates are modeled and tested. The fabrication process
of the detectors is fully compatible with GaAs
metal-semiconductor field effect...
In this report, the optical characteristics of ZnS:Tb AC driven thin-film
electroluminescent devices are evaluated. Luminescence at low and room temperature
under a constant phosphor field is recorded in order to probe the hot electron energy
distribution. Samples fabricated by atomic layer epitaxy and by sputter deposition are
investigated and...
