摘要
We demonstrate normal incidence infrared imaging with quantum dot infrared photodetectors using a raster-scan technique. The device heterostructure, containing multiple layers of InAs/GaAs self-organized quantum dots, were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. Individual devices have been operated at temperatures as high as 150 K and, at 100 K, are characterized by lambda(peak)=3.72 mum, J(dark)=6x10(-10) A/cm(2) for a bias of 0.1 V, and D*=2.94x10(9) cm Hz(1/2)/W at a bias of 0.2 V. Raster-scan images of heated objects and infrared light sources were obtained with a small (13x13) interconnected array of detectors (to increase the photocurrent) at 80 K.
