Article Abstract
Nanowire photodetectors can perform exceptionally well due to their unique properties arising from the nanowire geometry. Here we report on the phenomenal responsivity and extended spectral range of scalable, vertically etched, silicon nanowire photodetector arrays defined by nanoimprint lithography. The high internal gain in these devices allows for detection at below room temperatures of subfemtowatt per micrometer visible illumination and picowatt infrared illumination resulting from band to surface state generation.

Near-infrared (NIR) narrowband photodetectors, featuring high sensitivity, excellent wavelength selectivity, and narrow full width at half-maximum (fwhm), enable efficient detection of specific NIR wavelengths and are widely used in optical communication, environmental monitoring, spectroscopy, and scientific research. In this study, we present a self-powered NIR photodetector based on a silicon nanowire (SiNW) array, exhibiting an ultranarrowband response centered at 1120 nm. The device employs a simple Schottky junction architecture.

Silicon carbide nanowires (SiC NWs) combine the benefits of bulk SiC materials with the properties of low-dimensional nanomaterials. They are known for their excellent mechanical strength and durability, which are critical for their potential applications in high-stress environments and micro-nano functional systems. Here, the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of 2H-SiC NWs with rare defects in the [0001] orientation are reported.

One-dimensional photonic crystal (1D-PhC) pillar cavities allow transducing mechanical pillar vibrations to the optical domain, thereby relaxing the requirements typically associated with mechanical motion detection. In this study, we integrate these geometries into a silicon-on-insulator photonics platform and explore their optical and mechanical properties. The 1D-PhC structures consist of a linear array of high aspect ratio nanopillars with nanometer-sized diameters, designed to enhance the interaction between transverse-magnetic (TM) polarized optical fields and mechanical vibrations and to minimize optical leaking to the substrate.
