Abstract
Surface plasmonic detectors based on one-dimensional half-wavelength gratings have attracted attention due to their wavelength- or polarization-specific photodetection. Although the effect of a grating period and a grating depth on the photoelectric conversion of 1D half-wavelength grating-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detectors has been discussed thoroughly in recent years, the effect of different grating profiles on device performance is still limited to the rectangular shape. In this article, we proposed a wavelength sensitivity reconfigurable photodetector enhanced by SPR with a blazed grating profile. The gold layer was fabricated on a silicon-based blazed grating to form a Schottky barrier and act as an SPR coupler. By measuring the photocurrent in the range of −58° to −48°of an incident angle, the peak shifts of a photocurrent signal waveform are found to depend on the wavelength over 800–1000 nm.
