Broad absorption natural dye (Mondo-Grass berry) for dye sensitized solar cell
Two major drawbacks in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are the narrow spectral response and the short-term stability. Research on development of artificial dyes for a broad frequency response is a major fiel...

Band Offsets of III–V and II–VI Materials Studied by Temperature-Dependent Internal Photoemission Spectroscopy
The band offset at the interface of a heterojunction is one of the most important parameters determining the characteristics of devices constructed from heterojunction. Accurate knowledge of band offsets and t...

Wavelength and polarization selective multi-band tunnelling quantum dot detectors
The reduction of the dark current without reducing the photocurrent is a considerable challenge in develo** far-infrared (FIR)/terahertz detectors. Since quantum dot (QD) based detectors inherently show low ...

Longitudinal-optical phonon hole-plasmon coupled modes in heavily doped p-type GaSb:Zn epitaxial films
Reflectance measurements from p-type GaSb:Zn epitaxial films with different hole concentrations (1017–1018 cm-3) have been investigated over the frequency region of 100–1000 cm-1. A minimum broadening feature cor...

Far-Infrared (λc=28.6 μm) GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum Well Photodetectors
We demonstrate the longest wavelength (λc=28.6 μm) far-infrared GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well photodetectors (QWIPs) based on a bound-to-bound intersubband transitions. The responsivity is comparable to that of mid-in...

Free Carrier Absorption in P-Type Epitaxial Si and GaAs Films for far-Infrared Detection
We report the investigation of free-carrier absorption characteristics for epitaxially grown p-type thin films in the far-infrared region (50 ∼ 200 µm), where homojunction interfacial workfunction internal pho...

Evidence for LWIR Emission Using Intersubband Transitions in GaAs/AlGaAs MQW Structures
Infrared emission using intersubband transitions in GaAs/AlGaAs multi-quantum well structures is discussed. Even for energies higher than the optical phonon values, the photon emission process which is limited...

A Novel Wavelength Tunable Silicon Detector for Infrared Detection
A cryogenic extrinsic silicon detector which can detect IR photons of very low energy, i.e., down to about 5.5 meV ( 220 μm) is presented. The mechanism involves photoexcitation of carriers over low energy interf...

Spectral information coding by infrared photoreceptors
Spontaneous pulsing has been observed in circuits containing cryogenically cooled silicon p-i-n (p+-n-n+) diodes under dc forward bias. The intensity of infrared radiation incident on the diodes controls the puls...
