Fig. 1: Effective area of different types of 2D photodetectors.
From: How to characterize figures of merit of two-dimensional photodetectors
a Photoconductive photodetector. b Planar junction photodetector. c, d Vertical junction photodetectors with zero and reverse bias, respectively. e Focal plane photodetector. The dashed blue lines in a–e are suggested accurate effective areas. The dashed orange lines in b, d, and e are potential inaccurate effective areas for respective types. f Field intensity of the Gaussian beam with the beam waist w0 = 2.66 μm, here BP represents black phosphorus. g Wave optics simulation result of the electric field distribution at the upper surface of the device with plane wave injected. h Calculated absorption with the Gaussian beam with the beam waist w0 = 2.66 μm multiplying the wave optics simulation profile shown in (g).
