Abstract:

We have designed, fabricated and characterized surface plasmonic structures for multispectral and polarization imaging sensors. We introduced two periodic array structures of square coaxial aperture (SCA) and quasi-three-dimensional circular coaxial aperture (quasi-3D CCA) onto InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice (T2SL) photodetectors. By adjusting the pitch of the array, multispectral filtering of the SCA and quasi-3D CCA integrated T2SL detectors is successfully performed at the detector level in the spectral ranges of 2.44 m and 35 m, respectively. In addition, we have developed a fabrication process for large-area (22) super pixelated subwavelength gold gratings with four different orientations of 0, 45, 90, and 135 degrees, using UV nanoimprint lithography. This process can be adopted as a promising technique to fabricate next-generation large-format polarimetric imagers with high extinction ratio.
