A physical model of quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs)
A fully quantum mechanical model for electron transport in quantum well infrared photodetectors is presented, based on a self-consistent solution of the coupled rate equations. The important macroscopic parameters like current density, responsivity and capture probability can be estimated directly from this first principles calculation. The applicability of the model was tested by comparison wi...
متن کاملNoise in single quantum well infrared photodetectors
The noise of the dark current and photocurrent is an important factor in operation of the quantum well infrared photodetectors ~QWIPs!. For typical operating conditions, the main source of fluctuations in QWIPs is generationrecombination noise associated with the excitation of carriers from the QWs into the continuum and their capture into the QWs. For applications the study of noise in QWIPs i...
متن کاملModeling of High Temperature GaN Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors
In this paper, we present calculations for different parameters of quantum dot infrared photodetectors. We considered a structure which includes quantum dots with large conduction-band-offset materials (GaN/AlGaN). Single band effective mass approximation has been applied in order to calculate the electronic structure. Throughout the modeling, we tried to consider the limiting factors which dec...
متن کاملModeling of dark current in midinfrared quantum well infrared photodetectors
We present a model for the description of dark IV curves in midinfrared quantum well infrared photodetectors at low temperatures, in a regime where dark current is dominated by interwell tunneling. The model separates the IV curve into a low-field and a high-field region allowing us to identify the effects ascribed to miniband transport and carrier localization, respectively. At low fields the ...
متن کاملCorrugated quantum well infrared photodetectors for polarization detection
In this letter, we propose the use of the newly developed corrugated quantum well infrared photodetectors ~C-QWIPs! for polarization detection. The corrugated structure, which serves as an optical coupler as well as the polarization-sensitive component, is in this case directly created into the active region of the QWIP, therefore dispensed with the need of an external polarizer. Moreover, four...
