As predicted quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) based one multiple QD structures utilizing the electron (hole) transitions from bound state in QDs into continuum state can surpass quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs). A number of research groups have reported fabrication and experimental and investigation of QDIPs based on InAs/GaAs,InGaAs/GaAs, InGaAs/InGaP, and Ge/Si structures. However, most of fabricated QDIPs are far short of optimum. The optimization of QDIPs appears to be fairly complex issue. This is due to a three-dimensionality of the QDIP structure and non-equilibrium character of the electron (hole) transport processes in it. Some features of QDIP operation can be clarified using analytical approaches, but a detailed ensemble Monte Carlo (MC)modeling of the processes determining the QDIP ultimate performance is indispensable.

We present a self-consistent analytical model describing transport processes in quantumwell infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) under dark conditions. The model takes into account electron thermionic emission from the quantumwells, thermionic injection from the emitter contact, and features of transport and capture in the self-consistent electric field in the QWIP active region. Using an assumption that the rates of the electron escape from and capture into a QW are functions of the electric fields only in the barriers sandwiching this QW, we calculate the electric field and charge distributions as well as dark current voltage characteristics. We clarify the origin of steep dark current characteristics. It is confirmed that the effect of the emitter contact substantially weakens with increasing number of QWs in the QWIP structure.

We present a simple model for quantum well photodetectors for simultaneous middle infrared and near infrared or visible dual-band detection. We derive an alytical formulas for the responsivity and detectivity as functions of the material and structural parameters. It is shown that the characteristics of near infrared and visible radiation detection can be sensitive to parameters of the hole transport, capture into quantum wells, and reflection from the electron emitting contact. We demonstrate that a properly designed photodetector can exhibit comparable performance for both middle infrared and near infrared (or visible) detection. The obtained results can be used to optimize the photodetector design and characteristics in both spectral ranges.

We calculate the frequency-dependent admittance of a diode with a two-dimensional electron channel in a slot between strip-like contacts. Hydrodynamic electron transport equations coupled with a two-dimensional Poisson equation for the self-consistent electric potential are used. Using the calculated expression for the admittance, we analyze the effect of the planar contacts and external capacitance on the plasma oscillations in the system under consideration. The obtained results are useful for the interpretation of experimental observation of plasma effects in high-electron mobility transistors and optimization of terahertz devices based on these transistors.

We develop a device model for a high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) affected by the incoming terahertz radiation. The model takes into account the electron plasma oscillations in the HEMT channel, tunneling of electrons from the channel into the gate layer and electron transit-time effects in this layer. It is shown that the excitation of plasma oscillations accompanied by the delay in the electron propagation across the gate layerand a strong nonlinearity of the tunneling current can result in significant features of the HEMT high-frequency linear and nonlinear characteristics. We derive a formula for the HEMT gate-to-source/drain admittance. We also calculate the variation of the dc current induced by the terahertz radiation and the HEMT detection responsivity. It is found that the detection responsivity exhibits sharp resonant peaks corresponding to the frequencies of plasma oscillations. The resonant plasma frequencies and the positions of the admittance and detection responsivity peaks depend on the gate length and the lengths of the contact regions (source-to-gate and gate-to-drain spacings) and can be tuned by the gate voltage. The coincidence of the plasma and transit-time resonances can lead to a marked sharpening of the responsivity peaks.

We study theoretically the plasma instability in a heterostructure similar to a high-electron mobility transistor. The instability under consideration is associated with the transit-time effects of the electrons injected from the channel into the gate layer due to tunneling or thermionic emission. The frequencies of the self-excited plasma oscillations, which fall within the terahertz range, are determined by the electron concentration in the channel and its length. We find the instability criteria expressed via the structural parameters and applied voltage.

We show that modulated near-infrared radiation can generate terahertz plasma oscillations in the channel of a high-electron mobility transistor. This effect is associated with a temporarily periodic injection of the electrons photoexcited by modulated near-infrared radiation into the transistor channel. The excitation of the plasma oscillations has the resonant character. It results in the pertinent excitation of the electric current in the external circuit that can be used for generation of terahertz electromagnetic radiation.

We study the performance of a lateral p-n junction quantum-welledge-emitting laser-transistor with an extra gate contact. The incorporation of the gate contact provides an opportunity to control the threshold current and output optical power by the gate voltage. The application of negative gate voltages can lead to a substantial decrease in the threshold current. This is due to the confinement of the electrons injected into the p-type portion of the quantum well serving as the active region. Using the developed device model, we calculate the laser-transistor threshold and output characteristics. We also estimate the device cut off modulation frequency associated with the gate recharging.

We analyze dynamic behavior of the electron system in high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) associated with tunneling injection from the two-dimensional channel into the gate under forward bias. We show that the propagation of the injected electrons across the gate layer can result in the self-excitation of plasma oscillations in the HEMT when the transit-time and plasma resonances are close. The resonant frequencies in HEMT swith reasonable parameters correspond to the terahertz range. The criterion of the plasma instability is expressed via the structural parameters. The self-excitation of the plasma oscillations can be used to generate terahertz radiation.

We analyze the e??ect of photon recycling on up-conversion in a heterostructure device including a quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) integrated with a light emitting diode (LED). Such a QWIP-LED device converts middle infrared radiation into near infrared (NIR) or visible radiation (VIR) utilizing intersubband transitions in the QWIP and interband transitions in the LED. We show that the reabsorption of NIR/VIR photons in the QWIP can substantially affect the up-conversion of both uniform illuminations and infrared images. As demonstrated, this effect can cause a photonic breakdown associated with a positive feedback between the emission of NIR/VIR photons from the LED and the resulting photocurrent in the QWIP.
[v-ryzhii-08:2002]V. Ryzhii. Negative differential infrared photoconductivity in quantum-dot structures. Physica E, 12:868-871, 2002.
Using a simple model for monopolar quantum-dot structures which takes into account the heating of mobile (unbound) electrons, we calculated the current voltage characteristics of these structures under infrared illumination and revealed the origin of the effect of negative differential infrared photoconductivity observedin recent experiments. It is clarified also why decreasing photo currentvoltage characteristics coexist with steep rising dark current-voltage characteristics.

The results of theoretical and experimental studies of QDIPs based on different QDs structures has been well documented. However, most of fabricated QDIPs are far short of optimum. Because of the three-dimensionality of the QDIP structure and non-equilibrium character of the electron transport processes determining their operation, the optimization of QDIPs is a fairly complex problem. The solution of this problem requires the application of computer modeling of the electron effects in QDIPs. In this communication, we propose a quasi-three dimensional model for electron transport in QDIPs. This model uses ensemble Monte Carlo (MC) particle method. The model under consideration is a generalized version of that used previously for QWIPs.

The problem of plasma oscillations in heterostructures with two-dimensional electron gas in the gated channel similar to a high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) has been extensively studied both theoretically in experimentally. Such a system can be used for detection for frequency multiplication of electromagnetic radiation with the terahertz frequencies. It's also very promising for generatingterahertz radiation.We presentthe conceptof terahertz sources utilizing the excitation of plasma oscillations by optical signals (photomixing) and the self-excitation (plasma instabilities) of these oscillations due to electron tunneling from the channel into the gate in HEMT-like devices. We consider the structure with a single- or double-barrier gate layer. The resonant frequencies are determined by the electron sheet concentration in the channel and the spacing between the side contacts ( source and drain).

In Technical Summary Digest of Photonics West, Optoelectronics, pages 4986-20, San Jose, USA, Jan. 2003.
We present a device model for a lateral p-n junction quantum-well edgeemitting laser-transistor with an extra gate contact. Such a contact provides anopportunity to control the confinement conditions of the electrons injected into the active region and, as a consequence, the threshold current and output optical power by the gate voltage. Using the proposed model, we calculate the laser dc characteristics and estimate its modulation performance. We show that the application of negative gate voltages can lead to a substantial decrease in the threshold current. The estimated cut off modulation frequency associated with the gate recharging can bemuch higher than those associated with the photon and electron lifetimes.

In this communication, we evaluate the proposed edge-emitting quantumwell lasers with the lateral p-n junction in the quantum well (QWLJ laser). This laser is akin to QWLJ lasers fabricated and measured previously, but it's supplied with the gate contact to decrease the threshold current and provide the voltage control of the output optical power.

We propose and evaluate a novel device based on integration of quantumwell infrared photodetector (QWIP), heterostructure bipolar transistor (HBT), and light-emitting diode (LED) for up-conversion of middle infrared into near infrared (visible) radiation. Its operation is associated with intersubband absorption of middle infrared radiation in the QWIP, amplification of the QWIP output electric signal in the HBT and emission of near infrared or visible radiation from the LED driven by the current injected from the HBT. The integrated QWIP-HBT-LED device can serve as a highly effective pixel for infrared focal plane arrays.

Plasma instabilities in heterostructures with a two-dimensional (2D) electron channel attract a significant interest due to their potential use of generating terahertz (THz) radiation. Recently, the authors showed theoretically that such instabilities leading to the excitation of the plasma oscillations in the THz range of frequencies can occur in the high electron mobility heterostructures with resonant-tunneling extraction of electrons from a 2D channel. In this communication we demonstrate that the self-excitation of plasma oscillations can take place in similar heterostructures with the usual tunneling or thermionic injection from 2D channel.
