Research Progress on Terahertz Quantum-Well Photodetector and Its Application

Compared with other typical terahertz (THz) detectors, the quantum-well photodetector (QWP) has the advantages of high detection sensitivity, fast response, mature fabrication, small size, and easy integration. Therefore, it is suitable for high-speed detection and imaging applications at the THz ba...
