Abstract

We discuss the gain mechanisms in an optical detector based on a modulation doped heterojunction. It is shown that, in this gate-less HEMT device, varying the density of the mobile electron gas produces large differences in optical responsivity. The observed behavior is explained on the basis of a internal variation of the Fermi level, similar to a photovoltaic gating effect
