Abstract

The advent of nanophotonics allows devising and fabricating optical antenna as the advanced optical structures that can enhance light-matter interaction in quantum structures such as quantum wells. Improving infrared photodetector performance is discussed theoretically in this paper. We also investigate our recent demonstration of optical antenna integrated on quantum well infrared photodetector which improves the performance of the detector as can be evidence in responsivity of the detector.
