Abstract
Quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) structures were grown by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). These n-type QWIP structures were fabricated into devices. Inter-subband and inter-band transition energies were measured using photoresponse and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The carrier dynamics of one of the structures was analysed using temperature dependent up-conversion spectroscopy. These results were modelled with the solution of a three level system. Measurement of an n-type QWIP allows us to determine the inter-subband relaxation time of a p-type QWIP. The intersubband relaxation time of a p-type QWIP with 3 nm wide wells was determined to be 15 ps.
