Abstract We present a theoretical analysis of the quantum efficiency of a resonant cavity enhanced InGaAs/GaAs p-i-n photodetector (PD) for the ultrashort optical connections. The numerical method of calculation of quantum efficiency combining a transfer matrix method and an energy conservation law is offered. Using anomalous dispersion (AD) mirror, flat-topped QE spectrum has been obtained. Conditions for ideal flat-topped spectral response have been received. A design with a maximum QE of 93.5
