TL;DR: Optoelectronic analysis reveals that the heterojunction device is virtually blind to light illumination with wavelength longer than 280 nm, but is highly sensitive to 254 nm light with very good stability and reproducibility.
Abstract: A deep UV light photodetector is assembled by coating multilayer graphene on beta-gallium oxide (β-Ga2 O3 ) wafer. Optoelectronic analysis reveals that the heterojunction device is virtually blind to light illumination with wavelength longer than 280 nm, but is highly sensitive to 254 nm light with very good stability and reproducibility.

TL;DR: A Ge p-i-n photodetector that is monolithically integrated with silicon oxynitride and silicon nitride waveguides, which facilitates the integration with CMOS circuits.
Abstract: Photonic systems based on complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology require the integration of passive and active photonic devices. The integration of waveguides and photodetector is one of the most important technologies. We report a Ge p-i-n photodetector that is monolithically integrated with silicon oxynitride and silicon nitride waveguides. All processes and materials are CMOS compatible and can be implemented in the current integrated circuit process technology. The small size of the devices results in low absolute dark current. The waveguide-coupled Ge devices show high efficiency (~90%) over a wide range of wavelengths well beyond the direct band gap of Ge, resulting in a responsivity of 1.08 A/W for 1550 nm light. The device speed of 7.2 GHz at 1V reverse bias is strongly affected by the capacitance of the probe pads. The high-performance of the devices at low voltage (≤ 1V) facilitates the integration with CMOS circuits.

TL;DR: The layered structure of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) is reported which possess broadband emission ranging from 300 to >1000 nm and a broadband photodetector with responsivity as high as 325 V/W is demonstrated by coating N-GZDs onto interdigital gold electrodes.
Abstract: Material that can emit broad spectral wavelengths covering deep ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared is highly desirable. It can lead to important applications such as broadband modulators, photodetectors, solar cells, bioimaging, and fiber communications. However, there is currently no material that meets such desirable requirement. Here, we report the layered structure of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) which possess broadband emission ranging from 300 to >1000 nm. The broadband emission is attributed to the layered structure of the N-GQDs that contains a large conjugated system and provides extensive delocalized π electrons. In addition, a broadband photodetector with responsivity as high as 325 V/W is demonstrated by coating N-GQDs onto interdigital gold electrodes. The unusual negative photocurrent is observed which is attributed to the trapping sites induced by the self-passivated surface states in the N-GQDs.

TL;DR: The results show that the piezo-phototronic effect can enhance the detection sensitivity more than 5-fold for pW levels of light detection.
Abstract: We demonstrate the piezoelectric effect on the responsivity of a metalsemiconductormetal ZnO micro-/nanowire photodetector. The responsivity of the photodetector is respectively enhanced by 530%, 190%, 9%, and 15% upon 4.1 pW, 120.0 pW, 4.1 nW, and 180.4 nW UV light illumination onto the wire by introducing a0.36% compressive strain in the wire, which effectively tuned the Schottky barrier height at the contact by the produced local piezopotential. After a systematic study on the Schottky barrier height change with tuning of the strain and the excitation light intensity, an in-depth understanding is provided about the physical mechanism of the coupling of piezoelectric, optical, and semiconducting properties. Our results show that the piezo-phototronic effect can enhance the detection sensitivity more than 5-fold for pW levels of light detection.
