摘要:

由于其波长多样性和优异的均匀性,量子阱红外光电探测器(QWIR)成为天文或国防应用中的极长波红外(VLWIR)光谱域的潜在候选者。然而,这些应用处理非常低的背景,并且对暗电流要求非常严格。在本文中,我们提出了完整的电光特性的15微米的量子阱,重点是暗电流测量。数据表现出显着的功能,如在低温(4至25 K)的IV曲线的平台制度。我们表明,目前的理论无法描述这种现象,并建立一个完全微观的方法的需要。

英文摘要:

Thanks to their wavelength diversity and to their excellent uniformity, Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIP) emerge as potential candidates for astronomical or defense applications in the very long wavelength infrared (VLWIR) spectral domain. However, these applications deal with very low backgrounds and are very stringent on dark current requirements. In this paper, we present the full electro-optical characterization of a 15 micrometer QWIP, with emphasis on the dark current measurements. Data exhibit striking features, such as a plateau regime in the IV curves at low temperature (4 to 25 K). We show that present theories fail to describe this phenomenon and establish the need for a fully microscopic approach.
