Journal ArticleDOI
Photodetection with Active Optical Antennas
TL;DR: An active optical antenna-diode combines the functions of light-harvesting and excited-electron injection, and is a highly compact, wavelength-resonant, and polarization-specific light detector, with a spectral response extending to energies well below the semiconductor band edge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photovoltaic materials: Present efficiencies and future challenges
TL;DR: A comprehensively and systematically review the leading candidate materials, present the limitations of each system, and analyze how these limitations can be overcome and overall cell performance improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aluminum for Plasmonics
TL;DR: This work observes that the energy of the plasmon resonance is determined by, and serves as an optical reporter of, the percentage of oxide present within the Al, and paves the way toward the use of aluminum as a low-cost plAsmonic material with properties and potential applications similar to those of the coinage metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Narrowband photodetection in the near-infrared with a plasmon-induced hot electron device.

TL;DR: A grating-based hot electron device with significantly larger photocurrent responsivity than previously reported antenna-based geometries is reported, and the grating geometry enables more than three times narrower spectral response than observed for nanoantenna-based devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aluminum plasmonic nanoantennas.

TL;DR: In this article, the local density of optical states (LDOS) of individual aluminum nanorod antennas with cathodoluminescence (CL) was analyzed with a spatial resolution less than 20 nm and radiative modes of these nanostructures across the visible and into the UV spectral range.
