In this paper, two models for simulating the shot noise and electronic noise performances of resonant photodetectors designed for homodyne measurements are presented. One is based on a combination of a buffer and a low-noise amplifier, and the other is based on an operational amplifier. Through the comparisons between the numerical simulation results and the experimentally obtained data, excellent agreements are achieved, which show that the models provide a highly efficient guide for the development of a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) resonant photodetector. Furthermore, we demonstrate a high SNR resonant photodetector for homodyne measurements at the 147 MHz optical sideband, achieving a 20.8 dB SNR of the shot noise to the electronic noise with a 2 mW optical signal input, utilizing a combination of a buffer and a low-noise amplifier. Concurrently, we have obtained another resonant photodetector at the 1.14 GHz optical sideband, which exhibits a 13 dB SNR based on an operational amplifier.

We report the fabrication and characterization of a Bi(III) oxide/polypyrrole (BiO/Ppy) nanocomposite thin film optoelectronic photodetector synthesized by a simple one-pot method. The nanocomposite consists of spherical BiO nanoparticles embedded in a Ppy matrix, forming a porous structure with a high surface area. The XRD analysis reveals that the BiO nanoparticles have a poly-crystalline nature with a crystal size of 40 nm and an optical bandgap of 2.

Optical responses of twisted bilayer graphene at targeted wavelengths can be amplified by leveraging energy levels of van Hove singularities (VHS) via tuning periods of moiré superlattices. Therefore, precise control of twist angles as well as the moiré superlattices is necessary for fabricating integrated optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors and emitters. Although recent advances in twist angle control help the observation of correlated states in twisted magic-angle graphene structures, the impact of such precise control on enhanced optical absorption is still under investigation.

Enhancing photoluminescence (PL) efficiency in colloidal quantum dots is pivotal for next-generation near-infrared photodetectors, imaging systems, and photonic devices. Conventional methods, especially metal-based plasmonic structures, suffer from large optical losses, which limits their practical use. Here, we introduce a quasi-bound state in the continuum (quasi-BIC) metasurface on a silicon-on-insulator platform, tailored to provide high-quality factor resonances with minimized losses.

The integration of mid-infrared (MIR) photodetectors with built-in encryption capabilities holds immense promise for advancing secure communications in decentralized networks and compact sensing systems. However, achieving high sensitivity, self-powered operation, and reliable performance at room temperature within a miniaturized form factor remains a formidable challenge, largely due to constraints in MIR light absorption and the intricacies of embedding encryption at the device level. Here, a novel on-chip metamaterial-enhanced, 2D tantalum nickel selenide (Ta₂NiSe₅)-based photodetector, meticulously designed with a custom-engineered plasmonic resonance microstructure to achieve self-powered photodetection in the nanoampere range is unveiled.

The integration of a photodetector that converts optical signals into electrical signals is essential for scalable integrated lithium niobate photonics. Two-dimensional materials provide a potential high-efficiency on-chip detection capability. Here, we demonstrate an efficient on-chip photodetector based on a few layers of MoTe on a thin film lithium niobate waveguide and integrate it with a microresonator operating in an optical telecommunication band.
