Abstract
A detector. The detector includes a first collector, a first interface layer on the first collector, a first absorber on the first interface layer, a second interface layer on the first absorber, and a second collector on the second interface layer. The first absorber is configured to absorb photons to generate electron-hole pairs. The first interface layer may include a barrier configured to impede the flow of majority carriers from the first absorber to the first collector. The second barrier may include a barrier configured to impede the flow of majority carriers from the first absorber, or from a second absorber, to the second collector.
