[16p-418-17] A Study on SOI Photodiode with Surface Plasmon Antenna Enabling Refractive Index Measurement by Simpler Optical Irrdiation System with Normal Incidence
Keywords:SOI photodiode, surface plasmon antenna, refractive index measurement
The authors have proposed a novel refractive index measurement method around surface plasmon (SP) antenna on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photodiode. However, the oblique incident light to the photodiode is needed for the refractive index measurement. In this report, we study the structure of SOI photodiode with SP antenna which enables the refractive index measurement by simpler optical irradiation system with normal incidence by electromagnetic simulations using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method.
