Quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) have emerged as a promising technology in the mid- and far-infrared (3-25 μm) for applications in medical and environmental sensing. In this book, a detailed theoretical model based on non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) has been developed to electrically and optically characterize different QDIP structures. The advantage of the model over previous developed classical and semi-classical models is that it fairly describes quantum transport phenomenon playing a significant role in the performance of such nano-devices and considers the...
