Abstract

Using 45 degree(s) geometry or grating for optical coupling, three kinds of GaAs/Al_xGa_1-xAs multiquantum well (MQW) photodetectors having different response range, i.e., 7.50 - 8.85, 8.20 - 9.80, and 9.60 - 11.40 micrometers , have been fabricated and evaluated. High responsivity Rp > 1 X 10⁵ V/W, high quantum efficiency (eta) > 14%, and high detectivity D_(lambda )^* > 3 X 10¹⁰ cmHz^1/2/W, were achieved at T equals 77 K.
