Abstract:The subband dispersions and optical intersubband transitions in n-type quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) with complex well-barrier structures are calculated using 8-band k*p model combined with the envelope-function Fourier expansion method. It is shown that the method presented here is very effective for simulating numerically quantum well structures with complex potential profile. The relaxation of quantum confinement in the growth direction has been taken into consideration in detail. The calcula… Show more
