Abstract
We present a strain-compensated InP-based InGaAs/InAlAs photovoltaic quantum cascade detector grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy. The detector is based on a vertical intersubband transition and electron transfer on a cascade of quantum levels which is designed to provide longitudinal optical phonon extraction stairs. By careful structure design and growth, the whole epilayer has a residual strain toward InP substrate of only −2.8 × 10−4. A clear narrow band detection spectrum centered at 4.5 μm has been observed above room temperature for a device with 200 × 200 μm2 square mesa.
