Heterogeneously integrated light emitting diodes and photodetectors in the metal‐insulator‐metal waveguide platform

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: We demonstrate heterogeneous integration of active semiconductor materials into the conventional passive metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides to provide compact on-chip light generation and detection capabilities for chip-scale active nanophotonic platforms. Depending on its bias conditions, a metal-semiconductor-metal section can function as either a light emitting diode or a photodetector directly connected to the MIM waveguides. We experimentally verify the independent and combined operations of electrically-driven on-chip light sources and photodetectors.
