Abstract

In this paper the conditions to detect normal incident radiation for n-type indirect-gap semiconductor quantum well detectors have been analyzed. Using the concept of invariable quantities of ellipsoidal constant energy surface under the coordinate transformation, we investigate the variation rules of the oscillator strength and absorption coefficient with various growth directions of the quantum well. The limit of normal incident absorption in quantum well detectors is given for different materials.
