Structural Design of a Mid-Infrared Low-Noise Waveguide Photodetector Integrated with an Ultra-Short Waveguide Taper

Academic Background The mid-infrared spectrum range (2.5 to 20 µm) is widely used in gas detection, optical communication, high-quality imaging, bacterial research, and soil composition analysis due to its characteristic absorption peaks of many molecular bonds. Among these applications, waveguide photodetectors have become a key component in photo...
