The optical properties and the Franz-Keldysh effect at the direct band gap of GeSn alloys with Sn concentrations up to 4.2% at room temperature were investigated. The GeSn material was embedded in the intrinsic region of a Ge heterojunction photodetector on Si substrates. The layer structure was grown by means of ultra-low temperature molecular beam epitaxy. The absorption coefficient as function of photon energy and the direct bandgap energies were determined. In all investigated samples, the Franz-Keldysh effect can be observed. A maximum absorption ratio of 1.5 was determined for 2% Sn for a voltage swing of 3 V.
