We present a mid-IR ($lambda approx$ 8.3 $mu$m) quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) fabricated on a mid-IR transparent substrate, allowing photodetection with illumination from either the front surface or through the substrate. The device is based on a 400 nm-thick GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor QWIP heterostructure enclosed in a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) cavity and hosted on a mid-IR transparent ZnSe substrate. Metallic stripes are symmetrically patterned by e-beam lithography on both sides of the active region. The detector spectral coverage spans from $lambda approx 7.15$ $mu$m to $lambda approx 8.7$ $mu$m by changing the stripe width L - from L = 1.0 $mu$m to L = 1.3 $mu$m - thus frequency-tuning the optical cavity mode. Both micro-FTIR passive optical characterizations and photocurrent measurements of the two-port system are carried out. They reveal a similar spectral response for the two detector ports, with an experimentally measured T$_{BLIP}$ of $approx$ 200K.
The detection of light helicity is key to several research and industrial applications from drugs production to optical communications. However, the direct measurement of the light helicity is inherently impossible with conventional photodetectors ba
A new photonuclear thermal neutron facility has been developed at the Physics Department of University of Torino. The facility is based on a medical electron LINAC coupled to a compact converter and moderator assembly. A homogenous thermal neutron fi
High performance Terahertz (THz) photodetector has drawn wide attention and got great improvement due to its significant application in biomedical, astrophysics, nondestructive inspection, 6th generation communication system as well as national secur
