We propose two designs of nanoscale sub-fF germanium photodiodes which are efficiently integrated with silicon waveguides. The metal-optic cavities are simulated with the finite difference time domain method and optimized using critical coupling concepts. One design is for a metal semiconductor
The mid-infrared (MIR) spectral range holds significant potential for spectroscopic and sensing applications because it encompasses the fingerprint region that unveils the vibrational and rotational signatures of molecules. CMOS-compatible on-chip devices that can achieve strong light-matter
A silicon-compatible light source is the final missing piece for completing high-speed, low-power on-chip optical interconnects. In this paper, we present a germanium nanowire light emitter that encompasses all the aspects of potential low-threshold lasers: highly strained germanium gain medium,
We report the first demonstration of a cavity optoelectromechanical system integrated monolithically with a high-efficiency germanium photodetector on a CMOS-compatible platform. Mechanical resonances are recorded from 0.177 to 2.003 GHz with quality factor up to 4810. These monolithically
The germanium-on-insulator (GOI) has recently emerged as a new platform for complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible photonic integrated circuits. Here we report on resonant-cavity-enhanced optical responses in Ge photodetectors on a GOI platform where conventional photodetection is
We demonstrate the use of a subwavelength planar metal-dielectric resonant cavity to enhance the absorption of germanium photodetectors at wavelengths beyond the material's direct absorption edge, enabling high responsivity across the entire telecommunications C and L bands. The resonant wavelength
The high transparency of dental enamel in the near-infrared (NIR) at 1310-nm can be exploited for imaging dental caries without the use of ionizing radiation. The objective of this study was to determine whether the lesion contrast derived from NIR transillumination can be used to estimate lesion
Graphitization of a polymer layer provides a convenient route to synthesize nanocrystalline graphene on dielectric surfaces. The transparent and conducting wafer scale material is of interest as a membrane and a coating, and for the generation and detection of light, or strain sensing. In this work,
In this paper we present a detailed theoretical investigation of integrated racetrack Raman lasers based on the germanium material system operating in the mid-infrared beyond the germanium two-photon absorption cut-off wavelength of 3.17 μm. The effective Raman gain has been estimated in waveguides
Fit for a king: Cationic complexes of Ge(II) can be prepared by using crown ethers to stabilize and protect the germanium center. Three different crown ethers were employed: [12]crown-4 (see structure, Ge teal, O red, C gray), [15]crown-5, and [18]crown-6. The structures of the cationic complexes
Optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) behaviors are investigated theoretically in a four-level N-type diamond germanium-vacancy (GeV) color center scheme immersed in a unidirectional ring cavity based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). It is found that OB behavior
The reaction of the [Rh7(CO)16]3- cluster anion with Ge2+ salts, in different stoichiometric ratios and under different atmospheres, leads to the formation of new heterometallic Rh-Ge clusters, representing the first known examples of Rh carbonyl compounds containing interstitial germanium atoms.
A variety of ab initio methods have been used to calculate the X (2)Pi and A (2)Sigma(+) state spectroscopic parameters of the GeCX (X=F,Cl,Br) free radicals. The theoretical methods and basis sets were tested on GeCH, for which extensive experimental data are available, and found to give
The concept of point of darkness has received much attention for biosensing based on phase-sensitive detection and perfect absorption of light. The maximum phase change is possible at the point of darkness where the reflection is almost zero. To date, this has been experimentally realized using
