摘要: The performance of the GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice as an infrared detecting material is modeled a function temperature for two cutoff wavelengths, namely, 8.3 and 10.0 μm. results are compared with HgCdTe, present industry standard systems. limiting materials system found to be orders magnitude below that HgCdTe any specific wavelength operating temperature.
