Additional information
Reports the world record temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage of 0.97mV/K in APD, lattice matched to InP. This offers the prospect of temperature insensitive APD and single photon avalanche diode with myriad benefits for their deployment in communications and photon counting. Three follow-on journal papers have been published. This work is key to an EPSRC grant (EP/K001469/1, £639k), in collaboration CIP, now Huawei (Michael.Robertson@huawei.com) for optical communication, SELEX (Robert.Lamb@selexgalileo.com) and ID Quantique (alexis.rochas@idquantique.com) for photon counting.
