Terahertz asymmetric quantum well infrared photodetector design based on electromagnetically induced transparency

Ali Rostami, M. Zyaei, H. Rasooli Saghai +1 more

A new Terahertz photodetector based on Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) is proposed. In the terahertz range (low energy signal) the limiting point is dark current. Dark current determines the signal-noise ratio of detectors. Our main purpose in terahertz detection is reduction of the dark current which is done by converting the incoming Terahertz IR signal to short-wavelength or visible probe optical field through EIT phenomena. For realization of this idea, we used 4-level atoms which can be implemented by quantum wells or dots. In the proposed structure, the terahertz-IR signal does not interact directly with ground state electrons, but affects the absorption characteristics of the short-wavelength or visible probe optical field that directly interact with ground state electrons. Therefore, in the proposed structure, the important thermionic dark current in terahertz detection, can be strongly reduced.

ROOM TEMPERATURE TERAHERTZ PHOTODETECTION IN ATOMIC AND QUANTUM WELL REALIZED STRUCTURES

Abstract—A novel kind of room temperature terahertz photodetector based on Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) is presented. The main idea for room temperature and THz range operation is reduction of dark current which is done by converting of the incoming terahertz signal (long-wavelength Infrared signal) to shortwavelength field through EIT phenomena. For realization of this idea, we examine EIT phenomena in multi levels atomic system and quantum wells cascade structures. In the proposed structure the quantum interference between long wavelength and short-wavelength radiation modifies the absorption characteristic of short-wavelength probe field. By this means, the terahertz signal does not interact directly with ground state electrons, but affects on the absorption characteristics of

Analysis of electromagnetically induced transparency-based quantum dot infrared photodetectors

Chandra Mohan Singh Negi, Jitendra Kumar

A quantum dot infrared (IR) photodetector based on intraband optical transitions among the various states within the valence band by considering the principle of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is proposed and theoretically investigated. Absorption spectra of the probe beam and its dependence on the control beam and IR signal under the conditions of EIT have been studied. The incident IR signal itself does not generate any photocurrent. However, profound modification of the absorption characteristics of the probe beam by incident IR signal intensity leads to photocurrent generation in the proposed photodetector. Thermal characterization of the photodetector has been carried out through the evaluation of the temperature dependence of the quantum efficiency of the device.
