Abstract:Light scattered by a photodetector disturbs the probing field, resulting in noise. Cloaking is an effective method to reduce this noise. Here we investigate theoretically an emerging plasmonic material, zirconium nitride (ZrN), as a plasmonic cloak for silicon (Si) nanowire-based photodetectors and compare it with a traditional plasmonic material, gold (Au). Using Mie formalism, we have obtained the scattering cancelation across the visible spectrum. We found that ZrN cloaks produce a significant decrease in t… Show more
“…12 The cloaks have been developed in the optical spectrum where the nanoparticles in several shapes have been noticed based on plasmonic attributes. 13,14 Recently plasmonic spherical 15 and plasmonic Rods 16 have been studied for reducing the radar cross-section by various placements of the nanoparticles. In addition, the composition and disposition of the nanoparticle in the PMMA layer were suggested for the design of the cylindrical cloak.…”
