High-performance infrared Ge-based plasmonic photodetector enhanced by dual absorption mechanism

A sub-wavelength plasmonic Au–Ge grating was used to enhance the responsivity of Ge-based metal–semiconductor–metal photodetectors at infrared communication wavelengths. Furthermore, a finite-difference time-domain simulation was performed to optimize absorption of light by the detectors. Characteri...
