We report on photocurrent noise in AlGaAs/GaAs quantum-well infrared photodetectors having nominally the same design, except the number of wells N. The power spectral density does not scale as the inverse of the number of wells N in the presence of infrared radiation. These features can be understood by taking into account the nonlinearity arising at high infrared power as a consequence of the nonuniform potential distribution through the quantum-well structure.

Abstract
We report on photocurrent noise in AlGaAs/GaAs quantum-well infrared photodetectors having nominally the same design, except the number of wells N. The power spectral density does not scale as the inverse of the number of wells N in the presence of infrared radiation. These features can be understood by taking into account the nonlinearity arising at high infrared power as a consequence of the nonuniform potential distribution through the quantum-well structure.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
