摘要:

Graphene has attracted great interesting in the development of optoelectronic devices due to its broadband optical response, ultrahigh carrier mobility, and potentially CMOS-compatible. Although light-graphene interaction is strong given its single atomic thickness, devices relying on single-pass operation are ineffective for either light absorption or strong nonlinear response in photonics applications. Here, we describe techniques for enhancing the interaction of photons with graphene using chip-integrated nanophotonic devices, enabling high performance graphene optoelectronic devices.

Transferring single-layer graphene onto planar photonic crystal nanocavities enables a spectrally selective, order-of-magnitude enhancement of optical coupling with graphene. We observed dramatically cavity-enhanced absorption, hot photoluminescence emission, and Raman scattering of the monolayer graphene [1]. By electrically gating the graphene monolayer coupled with a planar photonic crystal nanocavity, electrooptic modulation of the cavity reflection was possible with a contrast in excess of 10 dB and a switching energy of 300fJ [2]. Moreover, a novel modulator device based on the cavity-coupled graphene-boron nitride-graphene capacitor was fabricated, showing a modulation speed up to 1.2 GHz [3].

A waveguide-integrated graphene photodetector that simultaneously exhibits high responsivity, high speed and broad spectral bandwidth has also been reported [4]. Using a metal-doped graphene junction coupled evanescently to the waveguide, the detector achieves a photoresponsivity exceeding 0.1 A/W together with a nearly uniform response between 1,450 and 1,590 nm. Under zero-bias operation, a response rate exceeding 20 GHz and an instrumentation-limited 12 Gbit/s optical data link.

The integration of graphene with nanophotonic architectures promises a new generation of compact, energy-efficient, and ultrafast electrooptic graphene devices for on-chip optical communications.
