Abstract :
A two-colour infra-red photodetector using multistacks of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells is demonstrated. The response peaks are at 3.9 and 8.1 μm. The peak responsivities of the detector are 0.4 A/W and 35 A/W for 8.1 μm and 3.9 μm bands, respectively. The detectivities of the 3.9 and 8.1 μm bands are 7.5×109 and 1.5×1010 cmHz1/2/W. These values are the best reported results for two-colour detectors with peak sensitivities in the spectral regions of 3-5 and 8-12 μm
