Random sized plasmonic nanoantennas on Silicon for low-cost broad-band near-infrared photodetection.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we propose Silicon based broad-band near infrared Schottky barrier photodetectors. The devices operate beyond 1200 nm wavelength and exhibit photoresponsivity values as high as 3.5 mA/W with a low dark current density of about 50 pA/µm(2). We make use of Au nanoislands on Silicon surface formed by rapid thermal annealing of a thin Au layer. Surface plasmons are excited on Au nanoislands and this field localization results in efficient absorption of sub-bandgap photons. Absorbed photons excite the electrons of the metal to higher energy levels (hot electron generation) and the collection of these hot electrons to the semiconductor results in photocurrent (internal photoemission). Simple and scalable fabrication makes these devices suitable for ultra-low-cost NIR detection applications.

Single Plasmonic Structure Enhanced Dual-band Room Temperature Infrared Photodetection.

Project description:Dual-band photodetection in mid- and near-wave infrared spectral bands is of scientific interest and technological importance. Most of the state-of-the-art mid-infrared photodetectors normally operate at low temperature and/or suffer from toxicity and high cost due to limitations of material properties and device structures. The capability of surface plasmons in confining electromagnetic waves into extremely small volume provides an opportunity for improving the performance for room temperature operation. Here, we report an n-InAsSb/n-GaSb heterostructure photodiode integrated with plasmonic two-dimensional subwavelength hole array (2DSHA) for room temperature two band photodetection. We demonstrate that with a properly designed 2DSHA, room temperature detectivities of the heterostructure device can be enhanced to ~1.4?×?109 Jones and ~1.5?×?1011 Jones for the two bands peaked at 3.4 ?m and 1.7 ?m, respectively. In addition, we study the photocurrent enhancement in both photoconductor and heterojunction modes in the same integrated structure. The demonstration of single 2DSHA enhanced heterojunction photodiode brings a step closer to high sensitivity room temperature devices and systems which require multiband absorption.

Plasmonic-tape-attached multilayered MoS<sub>2</sub> film for near-infrared photodetection.

Project description:Molybdenum disulfide has been intensively studied as a promising material for photodetector applications because of its excellent electrical and optical properties. We report a multilayer MoS2 film attached with a plasmonic tape for near-infrared (NIR) detection. MoS2 flakes are chemically exfoliated and transferred onto a polymer substrate, and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) dewetted thermally on a substrate are transferred onto a Scotch tape. The Scotch tape with AgNPs is attached directly and simply onto the MoS2 flakes. Consequently, the NIR photoresponse of the MoS2 device is critically enhanced. The proposed tape transfer method enables the formation of plasmonic structures on arbitrary substrates, such as a polymer substrate, without requiring a high-temperature process. The performance of AgNPs-MoS2 photodetectors is approximately four times higher than that of bare MoS2 devices.

Huge upconversion luminescence enhancement by a cascade optical field modulation strategy facilitating selective multispectral narrow-band near-infrared photodetection.

Project description:Since selective detection of multiple narrow spectral bands in the near-infrared (NIR) region still poses a fundamental challenge, we have, in this work, developed NIR photodetectors (PDs) using photon upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) combined with perovskite films. To conquer the relatively high pumping threshold of UCNCs, we designed a novel cascade optical field modulation strategy to boost upconversion luminescence (UCL) by cascading the superlensing effect of dielectric microlens arrays and the plasmonic effect of gold nanorods, which readily leads to a UCL enhancement by more than four orders of magnitude under weak light irradiation. By accommodating multiple optically active lanthanide ions in a core-shell-shell hierarchical architecture, developed PDs on top of this structure can detect three well-separated narrow bands in the NIR region, i.e., those centered at 808, 980, and 1540 nm. Due to the large UCL enhancement, the obtained PDs demonstrate extremely high responsivities of 30.73, 23.15, and 12.20 A W-1 and detectivities of 5.36, 3.45, and 1.91 × 1011 Jones for 808, 980, and 1540 nm light detection, respectively, together with short response times in the range of 80-120 ms. Moreover, we demonstrate for the first time that the response to the excitation modulation frequency of a PD can be employed to discriminate the incident light wavelength. We believe that our work provides novel insight for developing NIR PDs and that it can spur the development of other applications using upconversion nanotechnology.

Spectrally Switchable Photodetection with Near-Infrared-Absorbing Covalent Organic Frameworks.

Project description:Most covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to date are made from relatively small aromatic subunits, which can only absorb the high-energy part of the visible spectrum. We have developed near-infrared-absorbing low bandgap COFs by incorporating donor-acceptor-type isoindigo- and thienoisoindigo-based building blocks. The new materials are intensely colored solids with a high degree of long-range order and a pseudo-quadratic pore geometry. Growing the COF as a vertically oriented thin film allows for the construction of an ordered interdigitated heterojunction through infiltration with a complementary semiconductor. Applying a thienoisoindigo-COF:fullerene heterojunction as the photoactive component, we realized the first COF-based UV- to NIR-responsive photodetector. We found that the spectral response of the device is reversibly switchable between blue- and red-sensitive, and green- and NIR-responsive. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that such nearly complete inversion of spectral sensitivity of a photodetector has been achieved. This effect could lead to potential applications in information technology or spectral imaging.

Silicon/2D-material photodetectors: from near-infrared to mid-infrared.

Project description:Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have been used widely in constructing photodetectors (PDs) because of their advantages in flexible integration and ultrabroad operation wavelength range. Specifically, 2DM PDs on silicon have attracted much attention because silicon microelectronics and silicon photonics have been developed successfully for many applications. 2DM PDs meet the imperious demand of silicon photonics on low-cost, high-performance, and broadband photodetection. In this work, a review is given for the recent progresses of Si/2DM PDs working in the wavelength band from near-infrared to mid-infrared, which are attractive for many applications. The operation mechanisms and the device configurations are summarized in the first part. The waveguide-integrated PDs and the surface-illuminated PDs are then reviewed in details, respectively. The discussion and outlook for 2DM PDs on silicon are finally given.

Real-Time In Situ Secondary Structure Analysis of Protein Monolayer with Mid-Infrared Plasmonic Nanoantennas.

Project description:Dynamic detection of protein conformational changes at physiological conditions on a minute amount of samples is immensely important for understanding the structural determinants of protein function in health and disease and to develop assays and diagnostics for protein misfolding and protein aggregation diseases. Herein, we experimentally demonstrate the capabilities of a mid-infrared plasmonic biosensor for real-time and in situ protein secondary structure analysis in aqueous environment at nanoscale. We present label-free ultrasensitive dynamic monitoring of β-sheet to disordered conformational transitions in a monolayer of the disease-related α-synuclein protein under varying stimulus conditions. Our experiments show that the extracted secondary structure signals from plasmonically enhanced amide I signatures in the protein monolayer can be reliably and reproducibly acquired with second derivative analysis for dynamic monitoring. Furthermore, by using a polymer layer we show that our nanoplasmonic approach of extracting the frequency components of vibrational signatures matches with the results attained from gold-standard infrared transmission measurements. By facilitating conformational analysis on small quantities of immobilized proteins in response to external stimuli such as drugs, our plasmonic biosensor could be used to introduce platforms for screening small molecule modulators of protein misfolding and aggregation.

In-situ ultra-sensitive infrared absorption spectroscopy of biomolecule interactions in real time with plasmonic nanoantennas.

Project description:Infrared absorption spectroscopy is a powerful biochemical analysis tool as it extracts detailed molecular structural information in a label-free fashion. Its molecular specificity renders the technique sensitive to the subtle conformational changes exhibited by proteins in response to a variety of stimuli. Yet, sensitivity limitations and the extremely strong absorption bands of liquid water severely limit infrared spectroscopy in performing kinetic measurements in biomolecules' native, aqueous environments. Here we demonstrate a plasmonic chip-based technology that overcomes these challenges, enabling the in-situ monitoring of protein and nanoparticle interactions at high sensitivity in real time, even allowing the observation of minute volumes of water displacement during binding events. Our approach leverages the plasmonic enhancement of absorption bands in conjunction with a non-classical form of internal reflection. These features not only expand the reach of infrared spectroscopy to a new class of biological interactions but also additionally enable a unique chip-based technology.

Plasmonic Resonant Nanoantennas Induce Changes in the Shape and the Intensity of Infrared Spectra of Phospholipids.

Project description:Surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopic studies (SEIRAS) as a technique to study biological molecules in extremely low concentrations is greatly evolving. In order to use the technique for identification of the structure and interactions of such biological molecules, it is necessary to identify the effects of the plasmonic electric-field enhancement on the spectral signature. In this study the spectral properties of 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3 phosphothioethanol (DPPTE) phospholipid immobilized on gold nanoantennas, specifically designed to enhance the vibrational fingerprints of lipid molecules were studied. An AFM study demonstrates an organization of the DPPTE phospholipid in bilayers on the nanoantenna structure. The spectral data were compared to SEIRAS active gold surfaces based on nanoparticles, plain gold and plain substrate (Si) for different temperatures. The shape of the infrared signals, the peak positions and their relative intensities were found to be sensitive to the type of surface and the presence of an enhancement. The strongest shifts in position and intensity were seen for the nanoantennas, and a smaller effect was seen for the DPPTE immobilized on gold nanoparticles. This information is crucial for interpretation of data obtained for biological molecules measured on such structures, for future application in nanodevices for biologically or medically relevant samples.

Assembling Near-Infrared Dye on the Surface of Near-Infrared Silica-Coated Copper Sulphide Plasmonic Nanoparticles.

Project description:Functionalization of colloidal nanoparticles with organic dyes, which absorb photons in complementary spectral ranges, brings a synergistic effect for harvesting additional light energy. Here, we show functionalization of near-infrared (NIR) plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) of bare and amino-group functionalized mesoporous silica-coated copper sulphide (Cu2-xS@MSS and Cu2-xS@MSS-NH2) with specific tricarbocyanine NIR dye possessing sulfonate end groups. The role of specific surface chemistry in dye assembling on the surface of NPs is demonstrated, depending on the organic polar liquids or water used as a dispersant solvent. It is shown that dye binding to the NP surfaces occurs with different efficiency, but mostly in the monomer form in polar organic solvents. Conversely, the aqueous medium leads to different scenarios according to the NP surface chemistry. Predominant formation of the disordered dye monomers occurs on the bare surface of mesoporous silica shell (MSS), whereas the amino-group functionalized MSS accepts dye predominantly in the form of dimers. It is found that the dye-NP interaction overcomes the dye-dye interaction, leading to disruption of dye J-aggregates in the presence of the NPs. The different organization of the dye molecules on the surface of silica-coated copper sulphide NPs provides tuning of their specific functional properties, such as hot-band absorption and photoluminescence.
