LIGHT RECEIVING ELEMENT AND OPTICAL DEVICE

摘要

A light-receiving element includes a III-V group compound semiconductor substrate, a light-receiving layer having a type II multi-quantum well structure disposed on the substrate, and a type I wavelength region reduction means for reducing light in a wavelength region of type I absorption in the type II multi-quantum well structure disposed on a light incident surface or between the light incident surface and the light-receiving layer.
