Abstract
Fast, real time quantum well infrared photodetector concepts are developed. Device parameters are discussed for applications as a high data rate receiver for use with long wavelength, nonsilica infrared optics and fibers. The device relies on photoemission of charge stored in a quantum well and replacement of depleted charge by tunneling from a doped layer.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
