Abstract
Optical sensing in the mid- and long-wave infrared (MWIR, LWIR) is of paramount importance for a large spectrum of applications including environmental monitoring, gas sensing, hazard detection, food and product manufacturing inspection, and so forth. Yet, such applications to date are served by costly and complex epitaxially grown HgCdTe quantum-well and quantum-dot infrared photodetectors. The possibility of exploiting low-energy intraband transitions make colloidal quantum dots (CQD) an attractive low-cost alternative to expensive low bandgap materials for infrared applications. Unfortunately, fabrication of quantum dots exhibiting intraband absorption is technologically constrained by the requirement of controlled heavy doping, which has limited, so far, MWIR and LWIR CQD detectors to mercury-based materials. Here, we demonstrate intraband absorption and photodetection in heavily doped PbS colloidal quantum dots in the 5-9 µm range, beyond the PbS bulk band gap, with responsivities on the order of 10-4 A/W at 80 K. We have further developed a model based on quantum transport equations to understand the impact of electron population of the conduction band in the performance of intraband photodetectors and offer guidelines toward further performance improvement.
