    摘要: III-V films are grown on large automatically perfect terraces of III-V substrates which have a different lattice constant, with temperature and Group II and V arrival rates chosen to give a Group III element stable surface. The growth is pulsed to inhibit Group III metal accumulation to low temperature, and to permit the film to relax to equilibrium. The method of the invention 1) minimizes starting step density on sample surface; 2) deposits InAs and GaAs using an interrupted growth mode (0.25 to 2 mono-layers at a time); 3) maintains the instantaneous surface stoichiometry during growth (As-stable for GaAs, In-stable for InAs); and 4) uses time-resolved RHEED to achieve aspects (1)-14 (3).

    摘要: A multi-waveband temperature sensor array, in which each superpixel (e.g., 2×2 pixel cell) operates at a distinct thermal infrared (IR) waveband (e.g. four wavebands) is disclosed. Using an example high spatial resolution, four-band thermal IR band photodetector array, accurate temperature measurements on the surface of an object can be made without prior knowledge of the object emissivity. The multiband photodetector may employ intersubband transition in III-V semiconductor-based quantum layered structures where each photodetector stack absorbs photons within the specified wavelength band while allowing the transmission of photons in other spectral bands, thus efficiently permitting multiband detection. This produces multiple, spectrally resolved images of a scene that are recorded simultaneously in a single snapshot of the FPA. From the multispectral images and calibration information about the system, computational algorithms are used to produce the surface temperature map of a target.

    摘要: A quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) focal plane array having structures, each structure having stacked layers of quantum wells and a reflective grating to provide polarization sensitivity. The reflective grating is etched to provide electrical contacts for individual pixels. The reflective gratings comprise grooves, where the grooves for a particular structure run in a particular direction to provide polarization sensitivity. Each structure may comprise groups of quantum well layers, each group sensitive to a particular frequency band. By shorting out unwanted quantum well layers, and by forming the reflective gratings to come into contact with the quantum well layers having a particular frequency band sensitivity, the pixels in the QWIP focal plane array may provide frequency and polarization information.

    摘要: An AlxGa1−xAs/GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs quantum well exhibiting a bound-to-quasibound intersubband absorptive transition is described. The bound-to-quasibound transition exists when the first excited state has the same energy as the “top” (i.e., the upper-most energy barrier) of the quantum well. The energy barrier for thermionic emission is thus equal to the energy required for intersubband absorption. Increasing the energy barrier in this way reduces dark current. The amount of photocurrent generated by the quantum well is maintained at a high level.
