Area of Science:

  • Optoelectronics
  • Terahertz technology
  • Solid-state physics

Background:

  • Terahertz imaging offers significant potential applications but faces challenges with silicon readout integrated circuits (ROICs) below 40 K.
  • Thermal mismatch and ROIC failures hinder the development of terahertz focal plane arrays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report novel pixel-less photo-type terahertz imagers.
  • To demonstrate a new approach for high-performance terahertz imaging devices.

Main Methods:

  • Developed integrated devices combining terahertz quantum-well photo-detectors (QWPs) and near-infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the same substrate.
  • Utilized molecular beam epitaxy for device fabrication.
  • Employed frequency up-conversion technique where QWP photocurrent drives LED emission.

Main Results:

  • Achieved maximum internal and external energy up-conversion efficiencies of approximately 20% and 0.5%, respectively.
  • Demonstrated negligible image blurring due to photocurrent spreading in pixel-less imaging.
  • Successfully imaged a terahertz quantum cascade laser spot using the QWP-LED device and a Si camera.

Conclusions:

  • The developed pixel-less QWP-LED imagers offer a viable alternative to conventional terahertz imaging systems.
  • Optimized structural parameters ensure efficient operation of both QWP and LED components.
  • This technology opens new avenues for realizing high-performance terahertz imaging devices.
