Abstract
We have investigated the temporal response of uncooled photovoltaic quantum well infrared photodetectors (PV QWIP) using 2 ps pulses from a free electron laser. We measured rise and fall times of 8 ps and 63 ps, respectively. We have also determined the temperature dependence of the voltage responsivity and resistance of the sample from 70 K to 300 K. Based on these measurements, we discuss the figures of merit of PV QWIPs in a high-bandwidth 50 ohm environment.
