Abstract
The infrared absorption and photoresponse characteristics of n-type Ga As/AlxGa1-xAs multiple quantum wells infrared photodetector structure have been studied. With the normal incidence light, a detectivity D(8 .7 mu m)= 1.4 X 10(10) cm Hz(1/2)/W via free-carrier absorption in the wells is achieved at 77 K. This shows a possible fabrication of norma l incidence quantum wells infrared photodetector without a grating cou pler. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
