Light Coupling

Quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) have many advantages in infrared detection, mainly due to the mature III-V material technology. The employment of the corrugated light-coupling scheme further improves the technology for its simplicity and efficiency. A C-QWIP enjoys the same flexibility as a detector with intrinsic normal incident absorption. In this chapter, we will discuss the sensitivity of C-QWIPs and their utilities in infrared detection, material characterization and electromagnetic modeling. Besides the standard corrugated structures, other exploratory detector architectures will also be described.

Far Infrared Detectors

FIR photon detector development starting from the extrinsic detectors for LWIR to FIR wavelengths are presented. Several other types of IR detectors, including the cut-off wavelength extension into the FIR range for quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs), are summarized. Efforts in developing p-GaAs homojunction interfacial workfunction internal photoemission (HIWIP) far-infrared detectors and the most reason developments on GaAs/AlGaAs Heterojunction interfacial workfunction internal photoemission (HEIWIP) far-infrared detectors are presented.
