Metal/Perovskite Plasmonic–Photonic Heterostructures for Active and Passive Detection Devices

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Recent advancements in metal/perovskite photodetectors have leveraged plasmonic effects to enhance the efficiency of photogenerated carrier separation. In this work, we present an innovative approach to designing heterostructure photodetectors that involved integrating a perovskite film with a plasmonic metasurface. Using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, we investigated the formation of hybrid photonic-plasmonic modes and examined their quality factors in relation to loss mechanisms. Our results demonstrate that these hybrid modes facilitated strong light confinement within the perovskite layer, with significant intensity enhancement at the metal-perovskite interface-an ideal condition for efficient charge carrier generation. We also propose the use of low-bandgap perovskites for direct infrared passive detection and explore the potential of highly Stokes-shifted perovskites for active detection applications, including ultraviolet and X-ray radiation.
