A novel design and simulation of resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) corrugated quantum well infrared photodetectors (C-QWIP) using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method

摘要

A resonant cavity implementation of the corrugated quantum well infrared photodetector with polarization control is demonstrated using the FDTD method. Simulation results demonstrate more than 30 percent enhancement in quantum efficiency using this unique approach.
