摘要：

Photon-induced intersubband scattering in a quantum ballistic channel (QBC) is investigated. Our calculations show that light absorption in a QBC with a non-uniform narrowed end can lead to a photovoltaic effect. Using a mode-matching technique the photocurrent is obtained. The evaluated responsivity, detectivity and band width of the proposed photovoltaic detector are conducive to practical application.
