Abstract

We have theoretically studied the response of quantum well intersubband photodetectors to high-frequency modulated infrared radiation. The small-signal responsivity dependent on the modulation frequency of infrared radiation and device parameters has been derived using the proposed analytical model. It has been shown that with increasing modulation frequency the roll-off of the small-signal responsivity is associated with the electron transit and capture effects which limit the device bandwidth.
