Noise equivalent temperature difference study of type-II superlattice MWIR focal plane arrays for high operating temperature performance.

Achieving high operating temperature (HOT) plays a crucial role in miniaturizing type-II superlattice (T2SL) mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) focal plane arrays (FPAs). However, their full potential has yet to be realized due to a lack of complete understanding of their operation from the perspective of detection principles. Here, by investigating the photon transmission path and optoelectronic performance of the simulated devices, a detailed noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) model of the T2SL MWIR FPAs was established.

Light-Promoted Electrostatic Adsorption of High-Density Lewis Base Monolayers as Passivating Electron-Selective Contacts.

Achieving efficient passivating carrier-selective contacts (PCSCs) plays a critical role in high-performance photovoltaic devices. However, it is still challenging to achieve both an efficient carrier selectivity and high-level passivation in a sole interlayer due to the thickness dependence of contact resistivity and passivation quality. Herein, a light-promoted adsorption method is demonstrated to establish high-density Lewis base polyethylenimine (PEI) monolayers as promising PCSCs.
