Abstract

We demonstrate thinned resonant longwave infrared detectors with quantum efficiencies of over 60% in the longwave infrared. This improvement over unthinned detectors is made possible by a nanoantenna that confines the incident optical energy in a reduced volume compared to traditional detector architectures.
