Claims Summary
1. A method of generating an image of received electromagnetic radiation within a predetermined wavelength range comprising:
providing a plurality of pixel elements, each pixel element including complementary first-type and second-type modulation doped quantum well interfaces that are formed in a resonant cavity on a substrate and that are spaced apart from one another, wherein electromagnetic radiation within the predetermined wavelength range is received at said pixel element and injected into said resonant cavity; and
