Quantum-well infrared photodetectors

Levine, B. F.·1993·Journal of Applied Physics

Abstract

The extensive literature on quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) is reviewed. A detailed discussion is given on the device physics of the intersubband absorption and hot-carrier transport processes for individual detectors, as well as the high performance which has been achieved for large staring arrays. QWIPs having widely different structures, materials, and spectral responses are covered, as is the optimization of the quantum-well parameters for maximum performance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
