  • Plasmonically Enhanced Graphene Photodetector Featuring 100 Gbd, High-Responsivity and Compact Size
    Plasmonically enhanced graphene photodetector featuring 100 GBd, high-responsivity and compact size Ping Ma,*,1,† Yannick Salamin,*, 1,† Benedikt Baeuerle1, Arne Josten1, Wolfgang Heni1, Yuriy Fedoryshyn1, Alexandros Emboras1 and Juerg Leuthold*,1 1ETH Zurich, Institute of Electromagnetic Fields (IEF), 8092 Zurich, Switzerland †These authors contributed equally to this work. *Corresponding authors: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] KEYWORDS: Graphene, Photodetector, Plasmonics, Optoelectronics, Silicon, Integrated optics, Waveguide, Optical communications. ABSTRACT. Graphene has shown great potentials for high-speed photodetection. Yet, the responsivities of graphene-based high-speed photodetectors are commonly limited by the weak effective absorption of atomically thin graphene. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a plasmonically enhanced waveguide-integrated graphene photodetector. The device which combines a 6 m long layer of graphene with field-enhancing nano-sized metallic structures, demonstrates a high external responsivity of 0.5 A/W and a fast photoresponse way beyond 110 GHz. The high efficiency and fast response of the device enables for the first time 100 Gbit/s PAM-2 and 100 Gbit/s PAM-4 data reception with a graphene based device. The results show the potential of graphene as a new technology for highest-speed communication applications. Introduction Graphene is a highly functional two-dimensional (2D) material which has enabled a plethora of new applications and devices ranging from electronics, bioengineering, and photonics. In particular, optoelectronic devices, such as high-speed photodetectors1, take full advantage of graphene’s superior electrical and optical characteristics2, including the ultrafast carrier dynamics3,4, high carrier mobility5, broad spectral photoresponse6-10, and photocarrier multiplication11,12.

  • Electrically Controlled Plasmonic Switches and Modulators

In this paper, we review and compare the current state of the art of plasmonic switches and discuss the various physical phenomena that are used to perform efficient switching. More precisely, we dis- cuss plasmonic devices based on the thermal effect, the free carrier dispersion effect, the Pockels effect, phase change materials and switching caused by electrochemical metallization. Index Terms—Integrated photonics, plasmonic switches, thermo-plasmonic, free carrier dispersion, Pockels effect, electro- chemical metallization, phase change effect. I. INTRODUCTION N IDEAL optical switch should feature a small footprint, A offer high speed operation and operate with the least pos- sible power consumption. However, to this day, optical switches Fig. 1. Physical effects that have been used to perform plasmonic switching. have relatively large footprints compared to λ and often require significant power.

However, significant challenges exist including matching the sizes of electronic and photonic circuits; achieving low-loss transition between electronics, photonics, and plasmonics; and developing and integrating new materials. This review focuses on a hybrid material approach illustrating the importance of both chemical and engineering concepts. Silicon−organic hybrid (SOH) and plasmonic−organic hybrid (POH) technologies have permitted dramatic improvements in electro-optic (EO) performance relevant to both digital and analog signal processing. For example, the voltage−length product of devices has been reduced to less than 40 Vμm, facilitating device footprints of <20 μm2 operating with digital voltage levels to frequencies above 170 GHz. Energy efficiency has been improved to around a femtojoule/bit. This improvement has been realized through exploitation of field enhancements permitted by new device architectures and through theory-guided improvements in organic electro-optic (OEO) materials.
