GeSn Based Near and Mid Infrared Heterostructure Detectors

Abstract

The objective of this research is to advance the basic science behind using GeSn heterostructures in silicon-based photonic devices. Such devices would operate in near and mid IR spectral ranges and form the foundation for IR photonics that enable on-chip systems. As a group-IV material, on-chip systems based on the GeSn materials would have a crucial added advantage of being compatible with the mature CMOS processing allowing for monolithic integration of the photonics with Si electronics on a Si platform.
