Abstract

InAs/AlGaAs quantum dot infrared photodetectors based on bound-to-bound intraband transitions in undoped InAs quantum dots are reported. AlGaAs blocking layers were employed to achieve low dark current. The photoresponse peaked at 6.2 μm. At 77 K and –0.7 V bias the responsivity was 14 mA/W and the detectivtiy, D*, was 1010 cmHz1/2/W.
