A 1.55 {mu}m low-temperature-grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) photodetector with a resonant-cavityenhanced structure was designed and fabricated. A LT-GaAs layer grown at 200 deg. C was used as the absorption layer. Twenty- and fifteen-pair GaAs/AlAs-distributed Bragg reflectors were grown as the bottom and top mirrors. A responsivity of 7.1 mA/W with a full width at half maximum of 4 nm was obtained at 1.61 {mu}m. The dark current densities are 1.28x10{sup -7} A/cm{sup 2} at the bias of 0 V and 3.5x10{sup -5} A/cm{sup 2} at the reverse bias of 4.0 V. The transient response measurement showed that the photocarrier lifetime in LT-GaAs is 220 fs.
