研究目的
To enhance the optical absorptivity of graphene for improved performance in optoelectronic devices by using a photonic crystal architecture.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that intercalating graphene within a 3D woodpile photonic crystal significantly enhances its absorptivity over a broad bandwidth due to light trapping from dense resonant modes, particularly PIR modes. This approach can improve the efficiency of graphene-based optoelectronic devices, with potential applications in ultrafast photodetectors. Future work could involve experimental implementation and exploration of doped graphene for further enhancements.
研究不足
The study is based on simulations and does not include experimental validation. The model assumes ideal conditions, such as no absorption in TiO2 and perfect mirror substrates, which may not be practical. The scalability to different frequency regimes depends on material properties and fabrication constraints.
