RESUMO
Recently, two-dimensional materials have attracted attention owing to their special optical characteristics and miniaturization, with low thickness as well as extremely high responsivity. Additionally, Tamm plasmon polariton (TPP) resonance can be observed by combining a metal film and a one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal (PC), where an electric field confinement is located at the metal-1D PC interface. In this study, a graphene layer combined with a TPP is proposed as a wavelength- and angle-selective photodetector. The graphene layer is located where the strong field confinement occurs, and the photocurrent response is significantly enhanced with increasing absorption by over four times (from 62.5 µAâ W-1 to 271 µAâ W-1 and undetected state to 330 µAâ W-1 in two different samples). Moreover, the graphene-TPP photodetector has wavelength and angle selectivity, which can be applied in LiDAR detecting, sun sensors, laser beacon tracking, and navigational instruments in the future.
RESUMO
In O-and C-band optical communications, Ge is a promising material for detecting optical signals that are encoded into electrical signals. Herein, we study 2D periodic Ge metasurfaces that support optically induced electric dipole and magnetic dipole lattice resonances. By overlapping Mie resonances and electric dipole lattice resonances, we realize the resonant lattice Kerker effect and achieve narrowband absorption. This effect was applied to the photodetector demonstrated in this study. The absorptance of the Ge nanoantenna arrays increased 6-fold compared to that of the unpatterned Ge films. In addition, the photocurrent in such Ge metasurface photodetectors increases by approximately 5 times compared with that in plane Ge film photodetectors by the interaction of these strong near-fields with semiconductors and the further transformation of the optical energy into electricity.
