We describe "flip chip bonded" In(Ga)As and InAsSb heterostructure photodiodes and light emitting diodes (LEDs) (l=3.3–4.3 µm) grown onto n-InAs substrate. The advantages of the construction include the possibility of coupling with immersion lenses through the contact free surface. The report presents IV characteristic, spectral emission and responsivity, and simulations of sensitivity of the optically coupled diode pair to methane and carbon dioxide gases.
