摘要：

We report on the physics, epitaxial growth, fabrication, and characterization of optoelectronic devices based on intersubband transitions in the AlN/GaN material system. While in 1999, only results of optical absorption experiments could be shown, photodetectors and modulators with operation frequencies beyond 10 GHz as well as optically pumped light emitters have been demonstrated recently. This is the reason for a comprehensive report on the most important properties of such devices. Beside some basic theoretical considerations, we will concentrate on the fabrication and characterization of modulators, switches, photodetectors, and light emitters. At the end of this paper, an outlook to future trends and developments in this emerging field will be given.
