Popis: This paper will describe the first-of-a-kind development and demonstration of dilute nitride strained layer superlattice detectors with detectivity as high as 4 × 10 10 cm Hz 1/2 /W and cut-off wavelength of 11-μm for an LWIR design and a cut-off wavelength of 22-μm for a VLWIR design. The developed dilute nitride SLS detectors are based on ultra-low leakage dilute nitride epitaxial layers and/or strained layer superlattices (SLS) of InAs/InAsSbN and InAs/GaInSbN that could enable high VLWIR detectivities at elevated temperatures and at low cost.
