Broadband waveguide-coupled photodetectors in a submicrometer-wavelength silicon photonics platform
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Advances in silicon (Si) photonics at submicrometer wavelengths are unlocking new opportunities that may enable the realization of miniaturized, scalable optical systems for biophotonics, quantum information, imaging, spectroscopy, and displays. Addressing this array of applications with a single integrated photonics technology requires the development of high-performance active components compatible with both visible and near-infrared light. Here, we report waveguide-coupled photodetectors monolithically integrated in a foundry-fabricated, short-wavelength, Si photonics platform. We demonstrate two detector variants that collectively cover a continuous wavelength span of λ = 400 - 955 nm. The devices exhibited external quantum efficiencies exceeding 60% and 12% over 400 - 748 nm and 749 - 955 nm wavelength ranges, respectively. Measured dark currents were < 2 pA at a 2-V reverse bias. High-speed measurements at λ = 785 nm demonstrated optoelectronic bandwidths up to 18 GHz. Avalanche operation was characterized, yielding a gain-bandwidth product of 374 GHz at λ = 785 nm.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
