Abstract :
Enhanced quantum efficiencies have been obtained for GaAs(InP) based MSM-photodetectors using grating coupling of incident radiation into surface plasma waves confined to the air-metal interface. We demonstrate that the photosensitivity control of these detectors over the wide range of visible spectrum may be attainable either with variation of the grating parameters or with suitable choices of device processing
