Plasmonic Photovoltaic Double-Graphene Detector Integrated Into TiN Slot Waveguides

Graphene has emerged as an ultrafast photonic material for on-chip photodetection. However, its atomic thickness limits its interaction with guided optical modes, which in turn weakens the photoresponse of waveguide-integrated graphene photodetectors. Nonetheless, it is possible to enhance the inter...
