The Role of Noise in Specific Detectivity of InAs/GaSb Superlattice MWIR Bariodes

In this paper, the results of the electrical, noise, and optical characterization of p-i-n and p-B-i-n diodes with AlSb and 4 ML AlSb/8 ML GaSb superlattice barriers in High-Operating Temperature conditions, are presented. Experimental and theoretical noise parameters were compared. Both dark curren...
