Description
Summary:In this paper, we discuss the development of very sensitive, very long wavelength infrared GaAs/Al(x)Ga(1-x)As quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) based on bound-to-quasi-bound intersubband transition, fabrication of random reflectors for efficient light coupling, and the demonstration of a 15-mum cutoff 128x128 focal plane array imaging camera. Excellent imagery, with a noise equivalent differential temperature (NEDeltaT) of 30 mK has been achieved
