研究目的
Investigating the wavelength-selective photodetection capabilities of Tamm plasmonic structures coupled with hot-electron devices in the near-infrared range, specifically around the telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a wavelength-selective hot-electron photodetector based on Tamm plasmonic structures, achieving a maximum photoresponse of 8.26 nA/mW at 1581 nm. The photodetector exhibits a sharp wavelength selectivity, with the photoresponse decreasing by more than 80% over a 52 nm wavelength range. This work provides a practical approach for realizing high-performance, lithography-free photodetectors for telecommunication applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to the near-infrared range around the telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm. The photoresponse could potentially be improved by optimizing the thickness of the ZnO layer. The experimental setup required separate samples for optical characterization and photocurrent measurement, which may introduce variability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the design and fabrication of a TP coupled hot-electron photodetector consisting of a metal-semiconductor-ITO (M-S-ITO) structure on top of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The design aims to achieve wavelength-selective photodetection by exploiting the light confinement properties of Tamm plasmons.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were fabricated on fused quartz substrates using RF-magnetron sputtering. The optical and electrical properties were measured using an FT-IR spectrometer and a tunable laser source, respectively.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The equipment includes an RF-magnetron sputtering system for thin film deposition, an FT-IR spectrometer for reflectance measurements, and a tunable laser source for photocurrent measurements. Materials include Ge, SiO2, ITO, ZnO, Ti, and Au thin films.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fabrication process involved depositing the DBR and M-S-ITO layers sequentially on a quartz substrate. The optical properties were characterized by measuring reflectance spectra, and the photoresponse was evaluated by measuring the photocurrent under monochromatic illumination.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The optical behavior was analyzed using rigorous coupled-wave analysis, and the photoresponse was correlated with the absorptance spectrum to demonstrate wavelength-selective photodetection.
