Abstract

A narrow two color semiconductor detector created from the built in field tween epitaxial layers due to interface traps. Opposite polarity on opposite sides of the interface result in a net photocurrent created on each side which flows in opposing directions. The substrate supporting the epitaxial layers provides a cutoff filter range for light entering through the substrate.
