Currently silicon photonics researchers have attempted to extend the technology to the wavelength-band beyond 1.55 \u03bcm, e.g., 2 \u03bcm, for important applications in optical communications, nonlinear photonics, and on-chip sensing. However, the realization of high-performance silicon-based waveguide photodetectors beyond 1.55 \u03bcm still faces challenges since there are some fabrication issues as well as wavelength-band limitations. As an alternative, two-dimensional materials (e.g., graphene) provide a promising solution because of the ability for broad operation wavelength-bands and the advantage of avoiding structure mismatch in the design and fabrication.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-03-silicon-graphene-hybrid-plasmonic-waveguide-photodetectors.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Silicon-graphene hybrid plasmonic waveguide photodetectors beyond 1.55 \u03bcm<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Silicon photonics are known as a key technology for modern optical communications at the near infrared wavelength-band, i.e., 1.31\/1.55 \u03bcm.
