چکیده
A 9 ~m cutoff 640x486 snap-shot quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) camera has been demonstrated. The performance of this QWIP camera is reported including indoor and outdoor imaging. Excellent imagery, with a noise equivalent differential temperature (NEAT) of 36 mK has been achieved at 300 K background.

The Effect of Structural Parameters on the Electronic States and Oscillator Strength of a Resonant Tunneling Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector
In this paper a resonant tunnelling quantum well infrared photodetector (RT-QWIP) is discussed. Each period of this photodetector structure comprises of a resonant tunnelling structure (AlAs/AlGaAs/AlAs) nearby a quantum well (AlGaAs/GaAs). In this photodetector, photocurrent is produced when an electron makes a transition from the ground state of the well to an excited state which is coupled t...

متن کاملBoundary conditions in characterizing InxGa1-xAs /GaAs quantum well infrared photodetector
We study the optical transition between bound-to-continuum states in InGaAs/GaAs quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) by analyzing two possible boundary conditions for the continuum states. InGaAs/GaAs QWIP differs from the GaAs/AlGaAs QWIP in many aspects. Comparing running wave function and Bloch wave function with experimental results, we find that Bloch wave function is the much more ...
متن کاملVery Long Wavelength InxGal . xAs / GaAs Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors
We demonstrate the first long-wavelength (Xc= 20 pm) quantum WN infrared photodetector using non-lattice matched InxGaj-xAs/GaAs materials system. High optical gains (low capture probabilities) were achieved by using GaAs as a barrier material in this system. The dctcctivity has been found to be comparable to those achieved with the usual lattice matched GaAs/AlxGal-XAS detectors.
