“…30–33 Among them, the vertically incident light moderately interacts with PtSe 2 due to the nanometer-scale thickness of the low-dimensional material, limiting the performance of the optoelectronic devices. Researchers have studied several methods to improve the light-PtSe 2 interaction, such as waveguide structures, 34,35 semiconductor-metal plasmonic structures, 36–38 and photonic cavity structures. 39,40 However, the study of the optical absorption of PtSe 2 -on-silicon waveguides in the SWMIR band has been seldom explored.…”
