Abstract

Highly compact, filter-free multispectral photodetectors have important applications in biological imaging, face recognition, and remote sensing. In this work, we demonstrate room-temperature wavelength-selective multipixel photodetectors based on GaAs0.94Sb0.06 nanowire arrays grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy, providing more than 10 light detection channels covering both visible and near-infrared ranges without using any optical filters. The nanowire array geometry-related tunable spectral photoresponse has been demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally and shown to be originated from the strong and tunable resonance modes that are supported in the GaAsSb array nanowires. High responsivity and detectivity (up to 44.9 A/W and 1.2 × 1012 cm √Hz/W at 1 V, respectively) were obtained from the array photodetectors, enabling high-resolution RGB color imaging by applying such a nanowire array based single pixel imager. The results indicate that our filter-free wavelength-selective GaAsSb nanowire array photodetectors are promising candidates for the development of future high-quality multispectral imagers.
