β¦ Synopsis
In this paper the intersubband optical transitions in quantum dots are studied. Theoretical calculations of peak wavelengths and oscillator strengths of the transitions from the bound to ΓΏrst and second excited states were made for the InxGa1-xAs=GaAs and InAs=AlxGa 1-x As systems. The results show that transition from the ground to the ΓΏrst excited state in the growth-direction polarization has the largest absorption. The results of our calculations were found to be in good agreement with the observed peak detection wavelengths of the quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs). The application of quantum dots structures for the mid-and long-wavelength infrared detection is also discussed.

## Abstract Quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) have made significant progress after their early demonstration about a decade ago. We review the progress made by QDIP technology over the last few years and compare QDIPs with quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs). It is shown that the
Quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) are more efficient than other types of semiconductor based photodetectors; so it has become an actively developed field of research. In this paper quantum dot infrared photodetector dark current is evaluated theoretically. This evaluation is based on the m
