Abstract | Nonlinear photoconductivity effects at high excitation power in quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) are studied both experimentally and theoretically. The photoconductivity nonlinearity is mainly caused by a redistribution of the electric potential at high power, which leads to a decrease of electric field in the bulk of the QWIP. As a result of the decreased field, the photoexcited electron escape probability and drift velocity decrease resulting in a decrease of responsivity. |
