摘要:
We propose and demonstrate a novel concept for intersubband detectors at operating wavelengths of 3–5 &mgr;m using GaAs quantum wells. An extremely large intersubband spacing is obtained by using ultrathin AlAs barriers on either side of the GaAs quantum wells followed by a thicker Al0.3Ga0.7As layer. Simultaneously, the confining AlAs layers act as tunnel barriers which allow an electrical detection of the intersubband excitation.
