Popis: Antimonide-based type-II superlattices (T2SLs) have made possible the development of high-performance infrared cameras for use in a wide variety of thermal imaging applications, many of which could benefit from dual-band imaging. The performance of this material system has not reached its limits. One of the key issues in dual-band infrared photodetection is spectral crosstalk. In this paper, air-gapped distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) have been monolithically integrated between the two channels in long-/very long-wavelength dual-band InAs/InAs1– x Sb x /AlAs1– x Sb x -based T2SLs photodetectors to suppress the spectral crosstalk. This air-gapped DBR has achieved a significant spectral suppression in the 4.5–7.5 $\mu \text{m}$ photonic stopband while transmitting the optical wavelengths beyond $7.5~\mu \text{m}$ , which is confirmed by theoretical calculations, numerical simulation, and experimental results.
