A novel concept of self-powered plasmonic nanosystem for light detection

Abstract

This paper presents an original concept of an on-chip integrated, high-efficiency surface plasmon polaritons (SPP)-enhanced Schottky solar cell, microsupercapacitor and SPP hot electron Schottky photodetector, based on photoactive and electroactive properties of $Sb_{2}S_{3}$ thin films. Novel design configurations of interdigitated photonic and electrochemical devices, allowed the plasmonic devices to have novel multiband, multi-polarization features and which may be used for telecom wavelength band detection (1260–1675) nm.
