Abstract

Commercial imaging technologies have an increasing need for an accurate, in-situ beam locator to ensure laser alignment during operation. In this work, gallium nitride LED with indium gallium nitride quantum wells is leveraged is leveraged to create a fully transparent two-dimensional position sensitive detector (PSD). Two different architectures are developed and characterized. Fabricated devices are shown to successfully and repeatably locate 405 nm laser light in two dimensions in the PSD area with a best observed limit of detection of 8.4 microns while maintaining approximately 3 \% linearity.
