| Abstract | We present experimental results which support a recently proposed scheme for infrared imaging through the combined use of a photon frequency up-conversion device with a charge coupled device (CCD) camera. The epitaxial device consists of a long wavelength p-type GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) on top of which is grown a shorter wavelength InGaAs/GaAs light emitting diode (LED). Upon long wavelength infrared excitation of the QWIP, near infrared light is generated by the LED whose output is directed towards a commercial CCD array where the up-converted image of the long wavelength infrared source object is formed. |
