The quantum well infrared photodetector is an artificially engineered semiconductor multilayer structure designed to absorb and detect infrared radiation.
QWIPs operate by photoexcitation of electrons between ground and first excited state subbands of multi-quantum wells (MQWs) which are artificially fabricated by placing thin layers of two dfferent, high-bandgap semiconductor materials alternately. The bandgap discontinuity of two materials creates quantized subbands in the potential wells associated with conduction bands.
