摘要:
The performance of the GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice as an infrared detecting material is modeled as a function of temperature for two cutoff wavelengths, namely, 8.3 and 10.0 &mgr;m. The results are compared with HgCdTe, the present industry standard material for infrared systems. The limiting performance of the GaAs/AlGaAs materials system is found to be orders of magnitude below that of HgCdTe for any specific cutoff wavelength and operating temperature.
