It is shown that there is an optimal number of layers of quantum dots, as well as an optimal thickness of the spacers, which provide the widest bandwidth. The possibility of achieving a frequency range (at the level of –3 dB) above 20 GHz for waveguide photodiodes based on InGaAs/GaAs quantum well-dots is shown.

Abstract
An article is devoted to the study of the strength properties of interlayer adhesion and determination of Young's modulus by the ball instrumental indentation method for samples, made of ...various plastics using additive technology under normal conditions. This production method is chosen as the most appropriate for creating lightly stressed parts of complex geometry (up to 30 MPa) in the shortest possible time. One of the possible options for such products is full-size centrifugal wheels layouts of low power gas turbine units (up to 250 kW) for testing them in model conditions. It will ensure the work of the material in the elastic zone. The samples are considered, obtained by FDM method from various polymers such as: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene thermoplastic resin (ABS+), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene thermoplastic resin with addition of carbon fibers (ABS Carbon), nylon with addition of carbon fibers (Nylon Super Carbon), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) and a compound based on polylactide (PLA HP). Plastics, made by this method, have anisotropic properties. Therefore, in this work, the strength characteristics of the test samples interlayer adhesion under tension are determined.
The static and dynamic characteristics of waveguide photodetectors with an absorbing region based on InGaAs/GaAs quantum well-dots were studied at room temperature. The absorption band of InGaAs/GaAs ...quantum well-dots is in the spectral range from 900 to 1100 nm. The waveguide photodetectors have a width of 50 μm and a length of the absorbing region from 92 μm to 400 μm. A low dark current density (1.1 and 22 μA/cm

The scanning interferometer method is used to measure the line width of microdisk and microring lasers with a diameter of the resonator ranging from 15 to 50 μm and active area based on InGaAs/GaAs ...quantum well-dots. Above the threshold, the spectral width of the line did not exceed 3 pm for all samples under study.
