研究目的
To develop an innovative optical antenna (optenna) with a novel shape of Bundt baking-pan for broadband, polarization-insensitive, and enhanced infrared detection.
研究成果
The Bundt optenna demonstrates an ultra-broadband optical response with high fractional bandwidth of up to 42%, polarization insensitivity, and a wide field-of-view of 80°. It can enhance optical absorption efficiency within a thin-film detection layer, with a remarkable enhanced power absorption efficiency up to 8 orders of magnitude. The Bundt optenna can be promising for different nano-scale infrared detection devices.
研究不足
The main limitation is the numerical simulation approach, which may not fully capture all real-world operational challenges and fabrication imperfections.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The Bundt optenna was designed with a novel shape of Bundt baking-pan, made of gold metal filled with air as a dielectric material. The design was optimized for optical-impedance matching over three optical IR wavelength bands: near-infrared (NIR:
2:74–1 μm), shortwave infrared (SWIR:
1–3 μm), and midwave infrared (MWIR: 3–5 μm).
3:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The 2D unit-cells array of Bundt optenna was tested using silicon-nitride (Si3N4) thin-film layer, placed on top of a silicon substrate.
4:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Gold Bundt optenna periodic array, silicon-nitride thin-film layer, silicon substrate.
5:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations were performed on the gold Bundt optenna periodic array with underneath silicon-nitride thin-film layer and the silicon substrate.
6:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of Bundt optenna designs was characterized and evaluated over its corresponding wavelength range using 3D-FDTD simulations.
