“…The low-dimensional properties, such as quantum size effect, quantum tunneling, Coulomb blocking, and nonlinear optical effect, are the basis of new generation of solid-state quantum devices, like QW infrared photo-detectors (QWIPs), lasers based on QW materials, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. However, in conventional QW devices, only the incident light whose electric vector is parallel to the growth direction of the QW contributes to the photo-current, and so the quantum efficiency of the opto-electric device is low.…”
