1. Type-II interband quantum dot photodetectors
Sammanfattning : Photon detectors based on single-crystalline materials are of great interest for high performance imaging applications due to their low noise and fast response. The major detector materials for sensing in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) band (8-14 µm) are currently HgCdTe (MCT) and AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells (QW) used in intraband-based quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs).

2. Near-infrared photodetectors based on Si/SiGe nanostructures
Sammanfattning : Two types of photodetectors containing Ge/Si quantum dots have been fabricated based on materials grown by molecular beam epitaxy and characterized with several experimental techniques. The aim was to study new device architectures with the implementation of Ge nanostructures, in order to obtain high detection efficiency in the near infrared range at room temperature. LÄS MER
3. Exciton-plasmon interactions in metal-semiconductor nanostructures
Sammanfattning : Semiconductor quantum dots and metal nanoparticles feature very strong light-matter interactions, which has led to their use in many photonic applications such as photodetectors, biosensors, components for telecommunications etc.Under illumination both structures exhibit collective electron-photon resonances, described in the frameworks of quasiparticles as exciton-polaritons for semiconductors and surface plasmon-polaritons for metals.

4. Light manipulation in micro and nano photonic materials and structures
Sammanfattning : Light manipulation is an important method to enhance the light-matter interactions in micro and nano photonic materials and structures by generating usefulelectric field components and increasing time and pathways of light propagationthrough the micro and nano materials and structures. For example, quantum wellinfrared photodetector (QWIP) cannot absorb normal incident radiation so thatthe generation of an electric field component which is parallel to the original incident direction is a necessity for the function of QWIP.

5. Experimental and theoretical study of quantum dot resonant tunneling diodes for single photon detection
Sammanfattning : Single photon detection has a broad application in the medical, telecommunication, as well as in infrared imaging fields. In this thesis I present my work in studying quantum dot (QD) resonant tunneling diodes (RTD) for single photon detection. The device was processed in the form of a free-standing small-area air bridge. LÄS MER
