A Novel Photovoltaic delta-doped GaAs Superlattice Structure.
01 January 1989
An asymmetric delta-doped GaAs structure is described which exhibits novel photovoltaic effects and low intensity nonlinear optics. Of particular interest in this kind of structure is the ability to design the electro-optical and nonlinear optical properties as well as the material response time over a wide range by appropriate design of the doping parameters. These properties exhibit only weak dependence on temperature and optical wavelength.
