Electrical-gain-assisted circularly polarized photodetection based on chiral plasmonic metamaterials
Structure and principle
The architecture of our proposed CPL detector is illustrated in Fig. 1b. The device is constructed on an Ag substrate, which is overlaid with a SiO2 dielectric layer. This bilayer configuration primarily functions as a rear…
