Integrated photodetectors are essential components of scalable photonics platforms for quantum and classical applications. However, most efforts in the development of such devices to date have been focused on infrared telecommunications wavelengths. Here, we report the first monolithically integrated avalanche photodetector (APD) for visible light. Our devices are based on a doped silicon rib waveguide with a novel end-fire input coupling to a silicon nitride waveguide. We demonstrate a high gain-bandwidth product of 216 $pm$ 12 GHz at 20 V reverse bias measured for 685 nm input light, with a low dark current of 0.12 $mu$A . This performance is very competitive when benchmarked against other integrated APDs operating in the infrared range. With CMOS-compatible fabrication and integrability with silicon nitride platforms, our devices are attractive for visible-light photonics applications in sensing and communications.

We present a micrometer scale, on-chip integrated, plasmonic enhanced graphene photodetector (GPD) for telecom wavelengths operating at zero dark current. The GPD is designed and optimized to directly generate a photovoltage and has an external respo
nsivity~12.2V/W with a 3dB bandwidth~42GHz. We utilize Au split-gates with a$sim$100nm gap to electrostatically create a p-n-junction and simultaneously guide a surface plasmon polariton gap-mode. This increases light-graphene interaction and optical absorption and results in an increased electronic temperature and steeper temperature gradient across the GPD channel. This paves the way to compact, on-chip integrated, power-efficient graphene based photodetectors for receivers in tele and datacom modules
We have investigated photoconductive properties of single Germanium Nanowires(NWs)of diameter less than 100 nm in the spectral range of 300 to 1100 nm showing ultra large peak Responsivity in excess of 10^{7}AW^{-1}.The NWs were grown by Vapor Liquid
Solid method using Au nanoparticle as catalyst. In this report we discuss the likely origin of the ultra large responsivity that may arise from a combination of various physical effects which are a): Ge and GeO_{x} interface states which act as scavengers of electrons from the photo-generated pairs,leaving the holes free to reach the electrodes,b) Schottky barrier at the metal and NW interface which gets lowered substantially due to carrier diffusion in contact region and (c) photodetector length being small (approximately few {mu}m), negligible loss of photogenerated carriers due to recombination at defect sites. We have observed from power dependence of the optical gain that the gain is controlled by trap states. We find that the surface of the nanowire has presence of a thin layer of GeO_{x} (as evidenced from HRTEM study) which provide interface states. It is observed that these state play a crucial role to provide a radial field for separation of photogenerated electron and hole pair which in turn leads to very high effective photoconductive gain that reaches a very high at low illumination density.
We report on the first demonstration of fluorescence detection using single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs) monolithically integrated with a microfabricated surface ion trap. The SPADs are positioned below the trapping positions of the ions, and
designed to detect 370 nm photons emitted from single $^{174}$Yb$^+$ and $^{171}$Yb$^+$ ions. We achieve an ion/no-ion detection fidelity for $^{174}$Yb$^+$ of 0.99 with an average detection window of 7.7(1) ms. We report a dark count rate as low as 1.2 kHz at room temperature operation. The fidelity is limited by laser scatter, dark counts, and heating that prevents holding the ion directly above the SPAD. We measure count rates from each of the contributing sources and fluorescence as a function of ion position. Based on the active detector area and using the ion as a calibrated light source we estimate a SPAD quantum efficiency of 24$pm$1%.
Silicon photonics is being extended from the near-infrared (near-IR) window of 1.3-1.5 {mu}m for optical fiber communications to the mid-infrared (mid-IR) wavelength-band of 2 {mu}m or longer for satisfying the increasing demands in many applications
. Mid-IR waveguide photodetectors on silicon have attracted intensive attention as one of the indispensable elements for various photonic systems. Previously high-performance waveguide photodetectors on silicon were realized for the near-IR window of 1.3-1.5 {mu}m by introducing another semiconductor material (e.g., Ge, and III-V compounds) in the active region. Unfortunately, these traditional semiconductor materials do not work well for the wavelength of ~2 {mu}m or longer because the light absorption becomes very weak. As an alternative, two-dimensional materials provide a new and promising option for enabling active photonic devices on silicon. Here black-phosphorus (BP) thin films with optimized medium thicknesses (~40 nm) are introduced as the active material for light absorption and silicon/BP hybrid ridge waveguide photodetectors are demonstrated with a high responsivity at a low bias voltage. And up to 4.0Gbps data transmission is achieved at 2{mu}m.
The field of optical metrology with its high precision position, rotation and wavefront sensors represents the basis for lithography and high resolution microscopy. However, the on-chip integration - a task highly relevant for future nanotechnologica
l devices - necessitates the reduction of the spatial footprint of sensing schemes by the deployment of novel concepts. A promising route towards this goal is predicated on the controllable directional emission of the fundamentally smallest emitters of light, i.e. dipoles, as an indicator. Here we realize an integrated displacement sensor based on the directional emission of Huygens dipoles excited in an individual dipolar antenna. The position of the antenna relative to the excitation field determines its directional coupling into a six-way crossing of photonic crystal waveguides. In our experimental study supported by theoretical calculations, we demonstrate the first prototype of an integrated displacement sensor with a standard deviation of the position accuracy below $lambda$/300 at room temperature and ambient conditions.
