| contents | The demand for fast mid-wave infrared photodetectors is fueled by high-rate free-space optical communication and optical frequency comb spectroscopy. To date, only a few multi-GHz photodetectors have shown sensitive room-temperature operation in the 3.0-3.7 μm band, yet their commercial availability remains scarce. In this work, we present the remarkable response speed of an InAs/InAsSbP nBp barrier detector - a type typically not associated with high-frequency operation. A weakly reverse-biased photodiode with a diameter of 121 μm achieves a -3 dB electrical bandwidth of 2.4 GHz and -20 dB bandwidth of 8.0 GHz. This is the best result in this class of mid-infrared photodetectors confirmed optically. High signal-to-noise photodetection is also demonstrated at frequencies exceeding 19 GHz. The relatively simple device structure (devoid of cascaded structure or type-II superlattice) was realized on the mature InAs material platform, which opens new perspectives for accessible, sensitive, multi-GHz photodetectors for the 3.0-3.7 μm spectral region. |
