In the era of miniaturization of electronic equipment and the need to connect sensors with textile materials, including clothing, the processing of signals received from the implemented sensors becomes an important issue. Information obtained by measuring the electrical properties of the sensors must be sent, processed, and visualized. For this purpose, the authors of this article have developed a prototype of a data collector obtained from textronic sensors created on composite textile substrates.

The QCL tuning opportunities by varying power supply conditions and geometric dimensions of the active area have been considered. Two models for superlattice finite (FSML) and infinite (RSM) size were assumed for simulations.

Computer simulations of such nanodevices require large operating memories and effective algorithms to be applied. Promisingly, by applying semi-analytical polynomial approximation method to computing potential, wave functions and electron charge distribution, accurate results and quick convergence of the self-consistent solution for the Schrödinger and Poisson equations are reachable.
