Abstract. We demonstrate the function of the reflection spectra on extracting carrier concentrations in n-GaAs homojunction far-infrared (FIR) detector structures that have attracted considerable attention due to the unique feature of tailorable cutoff wavelength. Evidence has been provided for the formation of GaAs homojunction FIR detection occurring at the emitter/intrinsic interfaces.
