摘要：
Rigorous electromagnetic field modeling is applied to calculate the quantum efficiency of various quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) geometries. We found quantitative agreement between theory and experiment for corrugated-QWIPs, grating-coupled QWIPs, and enhanced-QWIPs, and the model explains adequately the spectral lineshapes of the quantum grid infrared photodetectors. After establishing our theoretical approach, we used the model to optimize the detector structures for 12-micron pixel pitch focal plane arrays.
