The dark current of a photodetector is a key parameter for high-sensitivity optical receivers. We report low-dark-current, triple-mesa avalanche photodiodes that have ~50 times lower dark current than conventional single-mesa devices, and suppress surface leakage. The tolerances of triple-mesa avalanche photodiode parameters are presented.
