Dual-color short-wavelength infrared photodetector based on InGaAsSb/GaSb heterostructure

We report the spectral response characteristics of a dual–band infrared photodetector based on nBn photodiode configuration–with GaSb and InGaAsSb absorption layers and a ternary layer of AlGaSb that serves as unipolar barrier in between—which has independent access to both sides. The resulting stru...
