In this paper, we discuss the development of very sensitive, very long wavelength infrared GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) based on bound-to-quasi-bound intersubband transition, fabrication of random reflectors for efficient light coupling, and the demonstration of a 15-μm cutoff 128×128 focal plane array imaging camera. Excellent imagery, with a noise equivalent differential temperature (NEΔT) of 30 mK has been achieved
