▎ 摘  要

We present a hybrid device based on graphene-coupled silicon (Si) photonic crystal (PhC) cavities, featuring triple light detection, modulation, and switching. Through depositing single-layer graphene onto the PhC cavity, the light-graphene interaction can be enhanced greatly, which enables significant detection and modulation of the resonant wavelength. The device is designed to generate a photocurrent directly by the photovoltaic effect and has an external responsivity of similar to 14mA/W at 1530.8 nm (on resonance), which is about 10 times higher than that off-resonance. Based on the thermo-optical effect of silicon and graphene, the device is also demonstrated in electro-optical and all-optical modulation. Also, due to the high-quality (Q) factor of the resonate cavity, the device can implement low threshold optical bistable switching, and it promises a fast response speed, with a rise (fall) time of similar to 0.4 mu s (similar to 0.5 mu s) in the all-optical switch and a rise (fall) time of similar to 0.5 mu s (similar to 0.5 mu s) in the electro-optical hybrid switch. The multifunctional photodetector, modulator, and optical bistable switch are achieved in a single device, which greatly reduces the photonic overhead and provides potential applications for future integrated optoelectronics.
