Abstract
Here we demonstrate a MoTe2-based photodetector featuring a strong photoresponse (responsivity 0.5 A/W) operating at 1,550 nm in silicon photonics enabled by strain engineering the two-dimensional material. Non-planarized waveguide structures show a bandgap modulation of 0.2 eV, resulting in a large photoresponse in an otherwise photoinactive medium when unstrained. Unlike graphene-based photodetectors that rely on a gapless band structure, this photodetector shows an approximately 100-fold reduction in dark current, enabling an efficient noise-equivalent power of 90 pW/Hz^0.5. Such a strain-engineered integrated photodetector provides new opportunities for integrated optoelectronic systems.
