Abstract

A graphene photoelectric detector with a sub-wavelength metal grating structure relates to the technical field of optical communication. The photoelectric detector includes a substrate and an absorption layer. The absorption layer includes a single layer of graphene attached to the substrate. A buffer layer is arranged on the graphene. A sub-wavelength metal grating structure is arranged on the buffer layer. The grating period, slot width and grating height of the sub-wavelength metal grating structure are set to such a size range that the incident light can generate surface plasmon resonancein the near field of the grating slot. The buffer layer is used to promote the absorption of the electric field by the graphene. Compared with the traditional structure, the structure of the inventioncan obviously enhance the light absorption by graphene and improve the response of the photoelectric detector.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication, in particular to a graphene photodetector with a sub-wavelength metal grating structure. Background technique [0002] With the development of ultra-high-speed optical fiber communication, the demand for ultra-high-speed and high-sensitivity photodetectors is becoming more and more urgent. Graphene has extremely high carrier mobility, very good low-dimensional stability, and electric field modulation of electron concentration, and is a promising optoelectronic material. Graphene photodetectors have extremely high carrier mobility and have great potential for development in the field of high-speed optical communications. The structure of the absorption layer of traditional graphene photodetectors is to set a layer of graphene that absorbs light on the surface of the substrate. , but the responsivity of the detector is low due to the inefficient light absorption of graphene.
