摘要:
We present a voltage-tunable wavelength-selective photodetector (VWP) for the near-infrared (NIR), realized by engineering the optical properties of Si and Ge. The structure exhibits a wide tunability by varying the applied voltage and weighting the photocurrents generated by two back-to-back diodes. We demonstrate its versatility in deconvolving signals of different wavelengths and a preliminary study on the applications of the VWP as a solid-state spectrum analyzer. The spectrum of NIR light impinging the device can be resolved from a set of photocurrent measurements for different bias voltages.
