Popis: Nominally identical multiple-quantum-well detectors have been fabricated on GaAs and Si substrates, and the performance of these detectors has been compared at a temperature of 77 K and a wavelength of 10.2 micrometers . The two different substrates yield practically identical absorption characteristics, but the detector on the GaAs substrate has an approximately 60% higher specific detectivity because of its higher photoconductive gain and lower dark-current density.
