Abstract
Graphene has been proposed to be integrated with Si Photonics because of its very high mobility, fast carrier dynamics and ultra-broadband optical properties. High speed graphene photodetectors have been demonstrated so far, however the most are based on the photo-bolometric or photo-conductive effect. These devices are characterized by large dark current, in the order of milli-Amperes. Photothermal effect (PTE) photodetectors can be used in voltage detection mode with no dark current, it is ultra fast and it operates near zero-bias. Graphene PTE-based photodetectors have been reported so far but high-speed optical telecommunication signal detection has not been shown yet. Here, we report on a graphene PTE-based photodetector on SOI waveguide. Thanks to the optimized design we show a direct detection of 105Gb/s non-return to zero (NRZ) and 120Gb/s 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) optical signals.
