Recent Progress in Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors

  • Chapter
Intersubband Transitions in Quantum Wells

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 288))

Abstract

We discuss our latest developments in quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) including extension to longer and shorter wavelengths (2.7 µm-18 µm) new materials, p-doping, and large 2-dimensional 128 x 128 QWIP imaging arrays.
