Optimizing the photothermoelectric effect in graphene
arXiv:2102.11225 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.15.054049
Abstract
Among its many uses, graphene shows significant promise for optical and optoelectronic applications. In particular, devices based on the photothermoelectric effect (PTE) in graphene can offer a strong and fast photoresponse with high signal-to-noise ratio while consuming minimal power. In this work we discuss how to optimize the performance of graphene PTE photodetectors by tuning the light confinement, device geometry, and material quality. This study should prove useful for the design of devices using the PTE in graphene, with applications including optical sensing, data communications, multi-gas sensing, and others.
