Abstract

Epitaxially grown self-assembled InAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) are exploited for the development of large-format long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) focal plane arrays (FPAs). The Dot-in-a-Well (DWELL) structures were experimentally shown to absorb both 45° and normal incident light, therefore a reflection grating structure was used to enhance the quantum efficiency. The devices exhibit peak responsivity out to 8.1 microns, with peak detectivity reaching ~ 1 x 10¹⁰ Jones at 77 K. The devices were fabricated into the first long-wavelength 640x512 pixel QDIP imaging FPA, which has produced excellent infrared imagery with noise equivalent temperature difference of 40 mK at 60K operating temperature.
