摘要

Abstract

Graphene has attracted much attention for the realization of high-speed photodetection for silicon photonics over a wide wavelength range. However

the reported fast graphene photodetectors mainly operate in the 1.55 μm wavelength band. In this work

we propose and realize high-performance waveguide photodetectors based on bolometric/photoconductive effects by introducing an ultrathin wide silicon-graphene hybrid plasmonic waveguide

which enables efficient light absorption in graphene at 1.55 μm and beyond. When operating at 2 μm

the present photodetector has a responsivity of ~70 mA/W and a setup-limited 3 dB bandwidth of > 20 GHz. When operating at 1.55 μm

the present photodetector also works very well with a broad 3 dB bandwidth of > 40 GHz (setup-limited) and a high responsivity of ~0.4 A/W even with a low bias voltage of -0.3 V. This work paves the way for achieving high-responsivity and high-speed silicon–graphene waveguide photodetection in the near/mid-infrared ranges

which has applications in optical communications

nonlinear photonics

and on-chip sensing.
