Quantum well photodetector in a free-standing photonic crystal slab
The fascinating optical properties of photonic crystals (PCs) have lead to numerous new devices or ways to improve existing device characteristics [1]. Photonic crystal slabs (PCS) are of particular interest due to their strong resonant behavior and three-dimensional light confinement, while being compatible with standard semiconductor technology. In this work, we present a photodetector within...
متن کاملOn the detectivity of quantum-dot infrared photodetectors
We report on the analysis of thermally-limited operation of quantum-dot infrared photodetectors ~QDIPs!. A device model is developed and used to calculate the QDIP detectivity as a function of the structural parameters, temperature, and applied voltage, as well as to determine the conditions for the detectivity maximum. The QDIP detectivity is compared with that of quantum-well infrared photode...
متن کاملSensitivity enhancement in photonic crystal slab biosensors.
Refractive index sensitivity of guided resonances in photonic crystal slabs is analyzed. We show that modal properties of guided resonances strongly affect spectral sensitivity and quality factors, resulting in substantial enhancement of refractive index sensitivity. A three-fold spectral sensitivity enhancement is demonstrated for suspended slab designs, in contrast to designs with a slab rest...
متن کاملSpectral Selectivity of Photonic Crystal Infrared Photodetectors
In this paper, we present the simulation results on the absorption modification in photonic crystal (PC) structures. For one-dimensional (1D) PC, using transfer matrix method (TMM), we obtained enhanced absorption in both defectfree and defect based PC structures. High absorption (>60%) and small bandwidth (< 0.1 λ0) at defect level were observed with optimal absorption layers of 10-15 for stru...
متن کاملNoise in single quantum well infrared photodetectors
The noise of the dark current and photocurrent is an important factor in operation of the quantum well infrared photodetectors ~QWIPs!. For typical operating conditions, the main source of fluctuations in QWIPs is generationrecombination noise associated with the excitation of carriers from the QWs into the continuum and their capture into the QWs. For applications the study of noise in QWIPs i...
