A new infrared detector using electron emission from multiple quantum wells
Chicago
Abstract
A new type of infrared photodetector using free electron absorption in a heavily doped GaAs/GaAlAs quantum well structure has been demonstrated. Preliminary results indicate a strong response in the near infrared with a responsivity conservatively estimated at 200 A/W. The structure can potentially be tailored during fabrication for use in several infrared bands of interest, including the 3 to 5 micron band and the 8 to 10 micron band.
