Publication number: 20250351589Abstract: The present disclosure provides a silicon-based infrared band avalanche photodetector and a fabrication method thereof. The photodetector includes a bottom electrode layer, a silicon film layer, and a top metal film layer stacked sequentially, where the bottom electrode layer forms an ohmic contact with the silicon film layer, and the top metal film layer forms a Schottky contact with the silicon film layer. The photodetector absorbs near-infrared light through the top metal film layer, generates hot carriers, and injects the hot carriers into the silicon film layer, and the hot carriers are collected by the bottom electrode layer to form a photocurrent, thereby achieving the detection of infrared light with energy below a band gap of silicon. Moreover, broadband or narrowband optical high absorption at different infrared wavelengths can be achieved by adjusting a thickness of the silicon film layer and a type of the top metal film layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2025Publication date: November 13, 2025Inventors: Cheng ZHANG, Xiaofeng Li, Binglin Huang, Chenghan Wu, Shaojun Wang, Zefeng Chen

Patent number: 10197793Abstract: A light modulator (e.g., for terahertz radiation) may be constructed using a prism in which light undergoes total internal reflection (TIR) at one surface. A tunable conductive layer is disposed on the TIR surface. The tunable conductive layer can have a conductivity that is dynamically controllable, e.g., by applying a voltage across the tunable conductive layer or by optically pumping the tunable conductive layer. The tunable conductive layer can absorb a portion of the reflected light beam, attenuating the beam, with the attenuation being a function of the electrical conductivity of the tunable conductive layer. The phase of the reflected light beam can also be altered as a function of electrical conductivity of the tunable conductive layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: The Chinese University of Hong KongInventors: Xudong Liu, Zefeng Chen, Edward Philip John Parrott, Benjamin Ung, Jianbin Xu, Emma MacPherson
