A visible-infrared double band photodetector absorber

Infrared Perfect Ultra-narrow Band Absorber as Plasmonic Sensor

We propose and numerically investigate a novel perfect ultra-narrow band absorber based on a metal-dielectric-metal-dielectric-metal periodic structure working at near-infrared region, which consists of a dielectric layer sandwiched by a metallic nanobar array and a thin gold film over a dielectric layer supported by a metallic film. The absorption efficiency and ultra-narrow band of the absorb...

Dual band complementary metamaterial absorber in near infrared region

Simulation of a partially depleted absorber (PDA) photodetector.

We use a 2D drift-diffusion model to study the nonlinear response of a partially depleted absorber (PDA) phododetector. The model includes external loading, incomplete ionization, the Franz-Keldysh effect, and history-dependent impact ionization. It also takes into account heat flow in the device. With all these effects included, we obtain excellent agreement with experiments for the responsivi...

Optically triggered infrared photodetector.

We demonstrate a new class of semiconductor device: the optically triggered infrared photodetector (OTIP). This photodetector is based on a new physical principle that allows the detection of infrared light to be switched ON and OFF by means of an external light. Our experimental device, fabricated using InAs/AlGaAs quantum-dot technology, demonstrates normal incidence infrared detection in the...

Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetector

In this paper an estimation for the performance of QDIP as an element of FSO communication system is given and availiable solutions are compared against the requirements of FSO communication systems. A discussion of QDIP parameters has been presented through theoretical models and experimental data from literature. A relation is proposed for QDIP carrier capture limited modulation bandwith and ...
