Developing high-performance broadband graphene-based photodetectors

Researchers report a van der Waals heterostructure photodetector consisting of graphene and its fluorine-functionalized derivative that enhances the photoresponse of graphene with broadband sensitivity. The proposed scheme in this work paves the way toward implemention of high-performance broadband graphene-based photodetectors.

Optical communication using solitons on a photonic chip

Instead of using a train of soliton pulses in an optical fiber, researchers generated continuously circulating optical solitons in compact silicon nitride optical microresonators. These continuously circulating solitons lead to broadband optical frequency combs.
