Optical responsivity and spectrum response of GeSn photodetector as a function of wavelength. Devices were measured by lasers (a tunable laser between 1500 nm to 1630 nm, a laser at 2000 nm) and an FTIR optical spectrometer. The data are shown in green scatter plots and blue curve, respectively (all measurements were conducted under 3 V reverse bias voltage).
