Silicon-metal waveguide as a high efficiency schottky detector for telecom wavelengths

We demonstrate an integrated on-chip compact and high efficiency Schottky detector for telecom wavelengths based on silicon metal waveguide. Detection is based on the internal photoemission process. Theory and experimental results are discussed. © 2012 Optical Society of America.

Locally-oxidized silicon surface-plasmon Schottky detector for telecom wavelengths

We demonstrate an integrated on-chip locally-oxidized silicon surface-plasmon Schottky detector for telecom wavelengths based on the internal photoemission process. Theoretical model and experimental results will be presented and discussed. © 2011 Optical Society of America.
