Description
Summary:In this work we show the possibility of imparting polarization-sensitive properties to two-dimensional films of graphene-like semiconductors, using WSe<sub>2</sub> as an example, by the application of ordered silver triangular nanoprisms. In addition, such nanoprisms made it possible to increase the optical sensitivity of optical detectors created on two-dimensional films by a factor of five due to surface plasmon resonance. The peculiarities of the surface plasmon resonance were shown by theoretical modeling, and the optimal conditions of its occurrence were determined. This article demonstrates an effective approach to creating spectrally selective, polarization-sensitive detectors based on two-dimensional graphene-like semiconductors.
