摘要
This paper reviews recent progress toward intersubband (ISB) devices based on III-nitride quantum wells (QWs). First, we discuss the specific features of ISB active region design using GaN/AlGaN materials, and show that the ISB wavelength can be tailored in a wide spectral range from near-to long infrared wavelengths by engineering the internal electric field and layer thicknesses. We then describe recent results for electro-optical waveguide modulator devices exhibiting a modulation depth as large as 14 dB at telecommunication wavelengths. Finally, we address a new concept of III-nitride QW detectors based on the quantum cascade scheme, and show that these photodetectors offer the prospect of high-speed devices at telecommunication wavelengths.
