Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for next-generation optical communication interconnects and all-optical signal processing require efficient (∼A/W) and fast (≥25 Gbs-1) light detection at low (
We fabricate a saturable absorber mirror by coating a graphene- film on an output coupler mirror. This is then used to obtain Q-switched mode-locking from a diode-pumped linear cavity channel waveguide laser inscribed in...
We report vertically illuminated, resonant cavity enhanced, graphene-Si Schottky photodetectors (PDs) operating at 1550 nm. These exploit internal photoemission at the graphene-Si interface. To obtain spectral selectivity and...
The combination of plasmonic nanoparticles and graphene enhances the responsivity and spectral selectivity of graphene-based photodetectors. However, the small area of the metal-graphene junction, where the induced electron-hole...
There is a growing number of applications demanding highly sensitive photodetectors in the mid-infrared. Thermal photodetectors, such as bolometers, have emerged as the technology of choice, because they do not need cooling. The...
Graphene's high mobility and Fermi velocity, combined with its constant light absorption in the visible to far-infrared range, make it an ideal material to fabricate high-speed and ultrabroadband photodetectors. However, the...
