Abstract :
An ultra-high sensitivity triple-coupled quantum well infrared photodetector using a high-strain n-type InGaAs/AlGaAs/InGaAs asymmetrical coupled quantum well structure has been developed for 8-14 μm detection. The maximum responsivity and detectivity with 45° facet illumination were found to be 2.71 A/W and 2.21×1010 cmHz12/W at λp=9.6 μm, Vb =5 V, and T=30 K
