Narrow-Gap Semiconductor Photodiodes / Edition 1

by Antoni Rogalski, Jaroslaw Rutkowski, Krzysztof Adamiec

Overview

In this monograph, investigations of the performance of narrow-gap semiconductor photodiodes are presented, and recent progress in different IR photodiode technologies is discussed: HgCdTe photodiodes, InSb photodiodes, alternatives to HgCdTe III-V and II-VI ternary alloy photodiodes, lead chalcogenide photodiodes, and a new class of photodiodes based on two dimensional solids. Investigations of the performance of photodiodes operated in different spectral regions are presented.

Editorial Reviews

For graduate students in physics and engineering who have a background in modern solid state physics and electronic circuits, three scientists (Military U. of Technology, Warsaw, Poland) analyze recent developments in the important material in infrared detection, and explore the fundamental processes that are important to evolving photovoltaic detection techniques. Their goal is to provide readers with a good understanding of the similarities and contrasts, the strengths and weaknesses, of the many approaches to sensing infrared radiation that have developed over the past 40 years.
