Intersubband absorption from In 0.26 Ga 0.74 As GaAs quantum dot superlattice

We have grown a high-quality 20 period InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot superlattice with a standard structure typically used for quantum well infrared photodetector. Normal incident absorption was observed around 13-15 mu m. Potential applications for this work include high-performance quantum dot infrared detectors.
