ABSTRACT:
Electromagnetic energy is detected with high efficiency in the spectral range having wavelengths of about 1–2 microns by coupling an absorber layer having high quantum efficiency in the spectral range having wavelengths of about 1–2 microns to an intrinsic semiconducting blocking region of an impurity band semiconducting device included in a solid state photon detector.
