Type-II superlattices (T2SLs) are a class of artificial semiconductors that have demonstrated themselves as a viable candidate to compete with the state-of-the-art mercury-cadmium-telluride material system in the field of infrared detection and imaging. Within type-II superlattices, InAs/InAs1-xSbx T2SLs have been shown to have a significantly longer minority carrier lifetime. However, demonstration of high-performance dual-band photodetectors based on InAs/InAs1-xSbx T2SLs in the long and very long wavelength infrared (LWIR & VLWIR) regimes remains challenging. We report the demonstration of high-performance bias-selectable dual-band long-wavelength infrared photodetectors based on new InAs/InAs1-xSbx/AlAs1-xSbx type-II superlattice design. Our design uses two different bandgap absorption regions separated by an electron barrier that blocks the transport of majority carriers to reduce the dark current density of the device. As the applied bias is varied, the device exhibits well-defined cut-off wavelengths of either ∼8.7 or ∼12.5 μm at 77 K. This bias-selectable dual-band photodetector is compact, with no moving parts, and will open new opportunities for multi-spectral LWIR and VLWIR imaging and detection.

II型超晶格 (T2SLs) 是一类人造半导体,已证明自己是与红外检测和成像领域中最先进的汞-镉-碲化物材料系统竞争的可行候选者。在II型超晶格中,InAs/InAs1-xSbx T2SLs已显示具有明显更长的少数载流子寿命。然而,在长波长和超长波长红外 (LWIR & VLWIR) 条件下,基于InAs/InAs1-xSbx T2SLs的高性能双波段光电探测器的演示仍然具有挑战性。我们报告了基于新型InAs/InAs1-xSbx/AlAs1-xSbx II型超晶格设计的高性能偏置可选双波段长波长红外光电探测器的演示。我们的设计使用两个不同的带隙吸收区域,该区域由电子势垒隔开,该电子势垒阻止了大多数载流子的传输,以降低器件的暗电流密度。随着所施加的偏置的变化,该器件在77 k处表现出8.7或12.5  μ m的明确定义的截止波长。这种偏置可选双波段光电探测器结构紧凑,没有活动部件,将为多光谱LWIR和VLWIR成像和检测开辟新的机会。
