Abstract
The absorption properties of a series of GaAs1−xBix layers with ∼6% Bi have been systematically investigated by measuring photocurrent spectra in p-i-n diode structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The GaAs1−xBix layers varied in thickness from 50 to 350 nm and showed a photoresponse in the near-infrared up to almost 1.3 μm . The absorption coefficients of the layers were obtained from the responsivity data. Below the band gap, the absorption coefficients showed an exponential dependence on the photon energy (Urbach tailing).
