Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIPs) afford greater flexibility than the usual extrinsically doped semiconductor IR detectors.
Many commercial and government applications need high performance, large format, long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) detector arrays in the range of 6-20 mu.
Intrinsic infrared detectors in the long-wavelength range (6 - 20 ??are based on interband transition which promotes an electron across the band gap (E(sub g)) from the valence band to the conduction band.
A hand-held quantum well infrared photodetector camera has been demonstrated.
Reflector antenna optimization schemes using array feeds and deformable flat plates (DFP) have been used to design systems that recover antenna losses resulting from antenna distortions.
An optimized long-wavelength very long-wavelength two-color Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) device structure has been designed.
One of the simplest device realizations of the classic particle-in-the-box problem of basic quantum mechanics is the Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP).
This paper will report on the characterization of spatially separated four-color QWIP FPA and LWIR QWIP camera. Optimization of operating parameters for each color and the best optimized operating parameters for all four-color operating simultaneously will be discussed.
An optimized long-wavelength/very long-wavelength two-color Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) device structure has been designed. This device structure was grown on a three-inch semi-insulating GaAs substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).
In this presentation, we will discuss the development of this large format broadband infrared FPA based on a GaAs/AlGaAs materials system and its performance in quantum efficiency, uniformity, and operability.
