Plasma edge and its application to infrared measurement and detection

Abstract: A steep plasma edge in infrared reflectivity spectra of Hg1−xCdxTe and HgSe:Fe has been observed. It is predicted that the edge is sensitive to the variation of carrier concentration, which indicates the possibility of developing a fast light-controlled switch for infrared radiation as well as a new approach of infrared modulation and detection. The modulation gain in power and detectivity limited by the generation-recombination process has been calculated and compared with the photoconductive counterpart.

“…(a) (b) FTIR measurements were used to determine the carrier concentration in the GaN:O film. The infrared reflectance spectrum of a n-type semiconductor is described by the Lorentzian oscillator model [30,31]. In this model, the dielectric function and the complex refractive index allow us to obtain the plasma frequency vp and then the free electron concentration N:…”

“…FTIR measurements were used to determine the carrier concentration in the GaN:O film. The infrared reflectance spectrum of a n-type semiconductor is described by the Lorentzian oscillator model [ 30 , 31 ]. In this model, the dielectric function and the complex refractive index allow us to obtain the plasma frequency v p and then the free electron concentration N : where v p is the plasma frequency (plasma edge), K is the const = 1.115 × 10 15 m −1 , m* is the electron effective mass in GaN (0.22) and is the high frequency dielectric constant (5.5).…”
