Popis: We report on a GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs quantum well intersubband photodetector for the long wavelength infrared region, which operates at zero bias voltage. Detection without bias is achieved by using an asymmetrical barrier structure as well as modulation doping, giving rise to a built‐in field across the barrier layers. The maximum of the spectral response is centered at 10 μm with a spectral bandwidth of 1.6 μm and a 77 K peak detectivity of 2.5×109 cm√Hz/W at 0 V.
