Figure 6: Dynamical photoresponse of the Ge-dot p-PTs.

(a) Normalized temporal response times and (b) relative responses to optical excitation as a function of frequency. Decreasing the Ge-dot diameter from 90 nm to 50 nm and reducing tox from 38.5 nm to 3.5 nm significantly improves the temporal response speed and the 3dB frequency bandwidth.
