Abstract
A two-photon detector based on intersubband transitions in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells operating in the Terahertz regime below the Reststrahlenband is reported. Resonantly enhanced optical nonlinearities enables sensitive quadratic detection at pJ pulse energies. We demonstrate its use in a quadratic autocorrelator for far-infrared picosecond pulses at around 7 THz.
Keywords: Quantum well infrared photodetector; two-photon intersubband transition; GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well; quadratic autocorrelation
