Ultrafast photodetection in an all-silicon chip enabled by two-photon absorption

In this letter we theoretically demonstrate that by dramatically enhancing two-photon absorption, all-silicon optical microresonators can act as efficient photodetectors for light at telecom wavelengths. We illustrate this approach with two specific designs based on a ring resonator and a photonic c...
