ItemNanostructured Fishnet Silicon Photodetector Pixels as a Fully-Contained Microspectrometer ChipCadusch, JJ ; Meng, J ; Crozier, KB (IEEE, 2018)We experimentally demonstrate a microspectrometer comprising twenty silicon photodetector pixels, whose responsivities are engineered via nanostructured fishnet patterns. We computationally reconstruct the spectrum of light that illuminates the chip from the measured pixel photocurrents.

ItemHigh-resolution mid-infrared spectral reconstruction using a subwavelength coaxial aperture arrayCraig, B ; Meng, J ; Shrestha, VR ; Cadusch, JJ ; Crozier, KB (OSA & IEEE, 2019-01-01)We demonstrate mid-infrared computational spectroscopy using an array of coaxial aperture filters. We experimentally determine material transmission spectra using an algorithm whose inputs are the transmission spectra and the power transmitted through each filter.

ItemMachine learning design of plasmonic apertures for optical nanotweezersLi, N ; Shrestha, VR ; Cadusch, J ; Xu, Z ; Crozier, KB (OSA, 2019-01-01)We present a new approach to design plasmonic structures for optical trapping. Using a simulated annealing algorithm, the shape of a nanoaperture is optimized. An order of magnitude increase in trapping potential is predicted.

ItemNanostructured all-Silicon Photodetector Pixels with Tailored Responsivity SpectraCadusch, JJ ; Meng, J ; Crozier, KB ; Mitchell, A ; RubinszteinDunlop, H (SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 2019)We experimentally demonstrate nanostructured silicon photodetectors which consist of subwavelength arrays of verticallyoriented waveguides etched into a P-I-N photodiode. Our device combines both spectral-filtering and photocurrentgeneration in one all-Si structure. We show that absorption and responsivity spectra of these nanophotonic devices can be tuned by appropriate geometric design.

ItemVertically stacked silicon nanowire photodetectors for spectral reconstructionMeng, J ; Cadusch, JJ ; Crozier, KB (OSA & IEEE, 2019-01-01)We experimentally demonstrate the use of vertically stacked silicon nanowire photodetectors for computational spectral reconstruction at visible wavelengths. The method is based on the photodetectors having tailored responsivity spectra, achieved by standard nanofabrication processes.

ItemPlasmonics-enabled metal-semiconductor-metal photodiodes for high-speed interconnects and polarization sensitive detectorsPanchenko, E ; Cadusch, JJ ; James, TD ; Roberts, A ; GarciaBlanco, SM ; Conti, GN (SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 2017-01-01)Metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodiodes are commonly used in ultrafast photoelectronic devices. Re- cently it was shown that localized surface plasmons can su_ciently enhance photodetector capabilities at both infrared and visible wavelengths. Such structures are of great interest since they can be used for fast, broadband detection. By utilizing the properties of plasmonic structures it is possible to design photodetectors that are sensitive to the polarization state of the incident wave. The direct electrical readout of the polarization state of an incident optical beam has many important applications, especially in telecommunications, bio-imaging and photonic computing. Furthermore, the fact that surface plasmon polaritons can circumvent the di_raction limit, opens up signi_cant opportunities to use them to guide signals between logic gates in modern integrated circuits where small dimensions are highly desirable. Here we demonstrate two MSM photodetectors integrated with aluminum nanoantennas capable of distinguishing orthogonal states of either linearly or circularly polarized light with no additional _lters. The localized plasmon resonances of the antennas lead to selective screening of the un- derlying silicon from light with a particular polarization state. The non-null response of the devices to each of the basis states expands the potential utility of the photodetectors while improving precision. We also demonstrate a design of waveguide-coupled MSM photodetector suitable for planar detection of surface plasmons.
