Hole array enhanced dual-band infrared photodetection by Suo, Fei, Tong, Jinchao, Chen, Xiren, Xu, Zhengji, Zhang, Dao Hua

“…In this work, we propose a photon-trapping hole-array structure integrated in a nip InAsSb-GaSb heterostructure for the enhancement of the photoresponse in both near- and mid-infrared regions. The proposed symmetrical hole array can increase the photon lifetime inside the absorption layer and reduce reflection without polarization dependence. …”
