Abstract

We demonstrate InGaAs mid-infrared quantum well infrared photodetectors (MIR PV-QWIPs) that enable cost-effective mature GaAs-based detection and imaging technologies, with exceptional material uniformity, reproducibility, and yield, over a large area, with high spectral selectivity, innate polarization sensitivity, radiation hardness, high detectivity, and high speed operation at TEC temperatures without bias.
