Abstract
A quantum ring based intersubband photodetector is designed and its optical performance is studied based on a developed theoretical model. Intersubband absorption of quantum rings is numerically calculated for two transitions, from ground state to first excited state and to continuum energy and the effects of broadening mechanisms are studied. Device show responsivity about 0.2 A/W at T = 80 K and V = 2 V. Dark current of structure with and without the resonant tunneling barriers is calculated. Specific detectivity \((D^*)\) is studied at different temperatures and peak values about \(3\times 10^{12}\,\hbox {cm Hz}^{1/2}/\hbox {W}\) is obtained at T = 50 K. Results show that inclusion of resonant tunneling barriers leads to improvement in \(D^*\) about one order of magnitude.
