1.06 Micron Sensor Array for Track and Receive.

Authors: Richard C. Eden; ROCKWELL INTERNATIONAL CORP THOUSAND OAKS CALIF SCIENCE CENTER
Abstract:
The development of a 12-element array of inverted heterojunction III-V alloy microwave avalanche photodiodes for use for data detection and tracking in a 10 to the 9th power bit/second satellite-to-satellite 10.06 micron laser communications system is reported. The three arrays delivered under the terms of this contract have quantum efficiencies (constant from dc to microwave) of about 95% at the 1.064 Nd-YAG laser line, narrow band photoresponse characteristics (750A FWHM), extremely low capacitance (0.3pf/inner quadrant element), very short transit times (
