Abstract

(at 2 kHz modulation frequency) specific detectivity beyond the 2 μm wavelength range, which is comparable to commercial epitaxial-grown photodetectors. To demonstrate the practical application of the QD phototransistor, we incorporated the device in a carbon monoxide gas sensing system and demonstrated reliable measurement of gas concentration. This work represents an important step forward in commercializing QD-based infrared detection technologies.
