Quantum Dot Detector Enhancement for Narrow Band Multispectral Applications
Abstract
This is a work of the U.S. Government and is not subject to copyright protection in the United States. The underlying principle of a photodetector is converting the optical signal into electrical signal. Under the radiation of an optical field, excess carriers are generated from the active region in the semiconductor, the electrons in conduction band and the holes in valence band. The increase of electron-hole pairs is bonding to the variation of the physical parameters. By analyzing the physical parameters through associated circuitry or systems, the characteristic of the incident photons can be identified.
