The purpose of this article is to compare the microwave performance of three photodetector types, an InGaAs/InP p‐i‐n photodiode, an interdigitated InAlAs/InGaAs/InP metal‐semiconductor‐metal (MSM) photodiode, and an interdigitated InGaAs/InP photo‐conductor (PC). Static and dynamic characterizations have been carried out at 1.3‐μm wavelength using a directly modulated laser diode. Our experiments show that photoconductive detectors exhibit the best sensitivity for frequencies up to 3 GHz. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
