What are the Advantages of Nanowire Photodetectors?
Nanowire photodetectors offer several benefits over traditional photodetectors:
High Sensitivity: The small diameter of nanowires allows for a high surface-to-volume ratio, enhancing light absorption and carrier generation. Fast Response Time: The reduced dimensionality and high carrier mobility of nanowires enable rapid signal detection. Broad Spectral Range: Different materials can be used to tailor the spectral response from ultraviolet to infrared. Scalability: Nanowires can be integrated into compact arrays, making them suitable for high-resolution imaging applications.
