Abstract
Impurity bound-to-unbound transitions are used to demonstrate normal incidence terahertz detection in both n- and p-type multiple quantum wells. Photocurrents are detected between 0.6-4.2 THz, and between 3.7-7.3 THz, in silicon- and beryllium-doped GaAs/AlAs structures, respectively, at temperatures below 40 K. The temporal resolution of the photocurrent response is estimated to be ≈ 4 ns. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
