Abstract
The dipole selection rule limits the maximum achievable efficiency in corrugated quantum well infrared photodetectors (C-QWIPs) to . We consider what is believed to be a novel design that utilizes a resonant cavity enhancement technique to increase the efficiency beyond by rotating the photon polarization at each pass around the cavity. Simulation results show that the quantum efficiency of this device can be enhanced up to compared to that of the standard C-QWIP device.
