ABSTRACT:
Radiation absorbing layers of epitaxially grown, photovoltaic materials are eposited in stacked relation on a substrate in alignment with a coincident axis of input radiation impinging on a common optically active surface area of a detector device formed by the stacked layers. Semi-insulating layers space the radiation absorbing layers to electrically separate the signal outputs respectively produced in response to impinging radiation limited to separate and distinct wavelengths within a common spectral range as a result of the interrelationships between bandgap energy properties of the layer materials.
