Title: On-chip chalcogenide glass waveguide-integrated mid-infrared PbTe detectors

Abstract

Here, we experimentally demonstrate an on-chip polycrystalline PbTe photoconductive detector integrated with a chalcogenide glass waveguide. The device is monolithically fabricated on silicon, operates at room-temperature, and exhibits a responsivity of 1.0 A/W at wavelengths between 2.1 and 2.5 μm.

Monolithic on-chip mid-IR methane gas sensor with waveguide-integrated detector

Journal Article Su, P. ; Han, Z. ; Kita, D. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Herein we demonstrate a monolithic waveguide sensor integrated with a detector on-chip for mid-infrared absorption spectroscopic sensing. The optical sensing element comprises a chalcogenide glass spiral waveguide, and the detector is a PbTe photoconductor integrated directly with the chalcogenide waveguide. The limit of detection of the sensor for methane gas was experimentally assessed to be 1% by volume. Further optimization of the fabrication process and normalization of the laser power fluctuations should result in a maximum sensitivity of 330 ppmv.

In this article, we review our recent work on mid-infrared (mid-IR) photonic materials and devices fabricated on silicon for on-chip sensing applications. Pedestal waveguides based on silicon are demonstrated as broadband mid-IR sensors. Our low-loss mid-IR directional couplers demonstrated in SiNx waveguides are useful in differential sensing applications. Photonic crystal cavities and microdisk resonators based on chalcogenide glasses for high sensitivity are also demonstrated as effective mid-IR sensors. Polymer-based functionalization layers, to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of our sensor devices, are also presented. We discuss the design of mid-IR chalcogenide waveguides integrated with polycrystalline PbTe detectors on a monolithicmore »« less

Single-mode low-loss chalcogenide glass waveguides for the mid-infrared

Journal Article Ho, Nicolas ; Phillips, Mark C ; Qiao, Hong ; ... - Optics Letters, 31(12):1860 - 1862

We demonstrate the design, fabrication, and characterization of single-mode low-loss waveguides for mid-infrared wavelengths. Planar waveguide structures were fabricated from multilayer thin films of arsenic-based chalcogenide glasses followed by the creation of channel waveguides using the photodarkening effect. Propagation losses as low as 0.5 dB/cm was measured for a quantum cascade laser end-fire coupled into the waveguides. This is a first step towards the design and fabrication of integrated optical components for MIR applications.

Mid-infrared integrated photonics on silicon: a perspective

Journal Article Lin, Hongtao ; Luo, Zhengqian ; Gu, Tian ; ... - Nanophotonics (Online)

The emergence of silicon photonics over the past two decades has established silicon as a preferred substrate platform for photonic integration. While most silicon-based photonic components have so far been realized in the near-infrared (near-IR) telecommunication bands, the mid-infrared (mid-IR, 2–20-μm wavelength) band presents a significant growth opportunity for integrated photonics. In this review, we offer our perspective on the burgeoning field of mid-IR integrated photonics on silicon. A comprehensive survey on the state-of-the-art of key photonic devices such as waveguides, light sources, modulators, and detectors is presented. Furthermore, on-chip spectroscopic chemical sensing is quantitatively analyzed as an example ofmore »« less
