摘要: Although silicon has dominated solid-state electronics for more than four decades, a variety of other materials are used in photonic devices to expand the wavelength range of operation and improve performance. For example, gallium-nitride based materials enable light emission at blue and ultraviolet wavelengths, and high index contrast silicon-on-insulator facilitates ultradense photonic devices,. Here, we report the first use of a photodetector based on graphene,, a two-dimensional carbon material, in a 10 Gbit s− 1 optical data link …
