Abstract

Since the initial observation of strong intersubband absorption in multiple-quantum-well (MQW) structures (1), these structures have been used as the basis for several different types of midinfrared detectors, emitters, and modulators. One of the first successful detector designs used heavily doped n-type GaAs quantum wells and relatively thick AlxGa1 -xAs barriers with the well thickness and barrier A1 fraction tuned so that only one bound state existed in each quantum well (2).
