A pair of integrated optoelectronic transceiving chips for optical interconnects

In this Letter, a pair of integrated optoelectronic transceiving chips is proposed. They are constructed by integrating a vertical cavity surface emitting laser unit above a positive-intrinsic-negative photodetector unit. One of the transceiving chips emits light at the wavelength of 848.1 nm with a threshold current of 0.8 mA and a slope efficiency of 0.81 W/A. It receives light between 801 and 814 nm with a quantum efficiency of higher than 70%.On its counterpart, the other one of the transceiving chips emits light at the wavelength of 805.3 nm with a threshold current of 1.1 mA and a slope efficiency of 0.86 W/A. It receives light between 838 and 855 nm with a quantum efficiency of higher than 70%. The proposed pair of integrated optoelectronic transceiving chips can work full-duplex with each other, and they can be applied to single fiber bidirectional optical interconnects.     

Optimization of a solar-blind and middle infrared two-colour photodetector using GaN-based bulk material and quantum wells

This paper calculates the wavelengths of the interband transitions as a function of the Al mole fraction of Al_xGa_1-xN bulk material. It is finds that when the Al mole fraction is between 0.456 and 0.639, the wavelengths correspond to the solar-blind (250~nm to 280~nm). The influence of the structure parameters of Al_yGa_1-yN/GaN quantum wells on the wavelength and absorption coefficient of intersubband transitions has been investigated by solving the Schr?dinger and Poisson equations self-consistently. The Al mole fraction of the Al_yGa_1-yN barrier changes from 0.30 to 0.46, meanwhile the width of the well changes from 2.9~nm to 2.2~nm, for maximal intersubband absorption in the window of the air (3~μm <λ <5~μm). The absorption coefficient of the intersubband transition between the ground state and the first excited state decreases with the increase of the wavelength. The results are finally used to discuss the prospects of GaN-based bulk material and quantum wells for a solar-blind and middle infrared two-colour photodetector.

Metal-semiconductor-metal ultraviolet photodetector based on GaN

A metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) ultraviolet photodetector has been fabricated using unintentionally doped n-GaN films grown on sapphire substrates. Its dark current, photocurrent under the illumination with λ = 360 nm light, responsivity, and the dependence of responsivity on bias voltage were measured at room temperature. The dark current of the photodetector is 1.03 Na under 5 V bias, and is 15.3 Na under 10 V bias. A maximum responsivity of 0.166 A/W has been achieved under the illumination with λ= 366 nm light and 15 V bias. It exhibits a typical sharp band-edge cutoff at the wavelength of 366 nm, and a high responsivity at the wavelength from 320 nm to 366 nm. Its responsivity under the illumination with λ= 360 nm light increases when the bias voltage increases.

High‐Responsivity Photodetectors Based on Formamidinium Lead Halide Perovskite Quantum Dot–Graphene Hybrid

Highly performance photodetector requires a wide range of responses of the incident photons and converts them to electrical signals efficiently. Here, a photodetector based on formamidinium lead halide perovskite quantum dots (e.g., FAPbBr₃ QDs)–graphene hybrid, aiming to take the both advantages of the two constituents. The FAPbBr₃ QD–graphene layer not only benefits from the high mobility and wide spectral absorption of the graphene material but also from the long charge carrier lifetime and low dark carrier concentration of the FAPbBr₃ QDs. The photodetector based on FAPbBr₃ QD–graphene hybrid exhibits a broad spectral photoresponse ranging from 405 to 980 nm. A photoresponsivity of 1.15 × 10⁵AW⁻¹ and an external quantum efficiency as high as 3.42 × 10⁷% are obtained under an illumination power of 3 µW at 520 nm wavelength. In detail, a high responsivity is achieved in 405–538 nm, while a relatively low but fast response is observed in 538–980 nm. The photoelectric conversion mechanism of this hybrid photodetector is investigated in the view of built‐in electric field from the QD–graphene contact which improves the photoconductive gain.     

Effect of ion implantation on quantum well infrared photodetectors

Ion implantation is a postgrowth processing technique which, when combined with annealing, can be used to tune the absorption wavelength of quantum well devices. We have implanted and annealed, three different quantum well infrared photodetector structures, and measured the absorption spectra of the samples by Fourier transform spectroscopy. The peak absorption wavelength shift of each structure has been calculated as a function of diffusion length by simulating the diffusion processes. We found different diffusion rates for the structures and attribute this to different numbers of as-grown defects. Our results indicate that agglomeration of single defects into defect clusters limits the ability of ion implantation to tune the wavelength of a structure with a higher number of as-grown defects. Thus, a structure with the lowest number of as-grown defects is most useful for fabricating a multi-color quantum well photodetector by ion implantation, because in this case ion implantation can enhance the diffusion rate considerably leading to large red- shift in peak absorption wavelength.     

Narrow spectral band monolithic lead-chalcogenide-on-Si mid-IR photodetectors

Narrow spectral band infrared detectors are required for multispectral infrared imaging. We review the first photovoltaic resonant cavity enhanced detectors (RCED) for the mid-IR range. The lead-chalcogenide (PbEuSe) photodetector is placed as a very thin layer inside an optical cavity. At least one side is terminated with an epitaxial Bragg mirror (consisting of quarter wavelength PbEuSe/BaF₂ pairs), while the second mirror may be a metal. Linewidths are as narrow as 37 nm at a peak wavelength of 4400 nm, and peak quantum efficiencies up to above 50% are obtained.     

Design of a Resonant-Cavity-Enhanced p-i-n GaN/AlxGa1-xN Photodetector

A resonant-cavity-enhanced p-i-n photodetector has been designed and analyzed to operate at a wavelength of 360 nm based on the Al_xGa_1-xN material system. The novel approach has been adopted of using epitaxial AlN/Al_xGa_1-xN quarter-wave stacks as the distributed Bragg reflector that serves as the front mirror. An Al_xGa_1-xN absorptive filter layer is incorporated to suppress all but one resonant mode to ensure single, narrow-band operation. This device structure is projected to achieve wavelength selective, high speed, and high quantum efficiency operation in the ultraviolet. MOCVD-grown 6 1/2-pair AlN/Al_xGa_1-x     

乙二醇和丙三醇的吸收光谱和荧光光谱研究

对乙二醇和丙三醇的紫外吸收光谱和荧光光谱进行了实验研究和理论分析,发现两者的最大吸收波长均位于198 nm,且在适当的紫外波长激励下均能发射出荧光,文章中给出了相应的荧光光谱图,但荧光相对强度和激发波长间似乎没有明显变化规律,其原因有待进一步探索。从乙二醇的一阶导数荧光光谱,得知在210 nm激发下荧光相对强度随时间变化最快,在225 nm激发下的绝大多数时间内变化速率最慢。另外,文章还从量子计算出发,采用一维势阱模型,根据电子从HOMO到LUMO的跃迁,计算出了两者的吸收波长值。比较分析了计算值与实验值之间的误差,考虑到将分子直链化后其键长与实际情况有所差别,结果认为理论计算有一定的参考价值。     

Band structure and impurity effects on optical properties of quantum well and quantum dot infrared photodetectors

We examined theoretically band structure and discrete dopant effects in the quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) and the quantum dot infrared photodetector (QDIP). We find that in QWIPs discrete dopant effects can induce long wavelength infrared absorption through impurity assisted intra-subband optical transitions. In QDIPs, we find that a strategically placed dopant atom in a quantum dot can easily destroy the symmetry and modify the selection rule. This mechanism could be partially responsible for normal incidence absorption observed in low-aspect-ratio quantum dots.
