The advent of microelectromechanic system (MEMS) technologies and
nanotechnologies has resulted in a multitude of structures and
devices with ultra compact dimensions and with vastly enhanced or
even completely novel properties. In the field of photonics it
resulted in the appearance of new paradigms, including photonic
crystals that exhibit photonic bandgap and represent an optical
analog of semiconductors and metamaterials that have subwavelength
features and may have almost arbitrary values of effective
refractive index, including those below zero. In addition to that,
a whole new field of plasmonics appeared, dedicated to the
manipulation with evanescent, surface-bound electromagnetic waves
and offering an opportunity to merge nanoelectronics with
all-optical circuitry. In the field of infrared technologies MEMS
and nanotechnologies ensured the appearance of a new generation of
silicon-based thermal detectors with properties vastly surpassing
the conventional thermal devices. However, another family of
infrared detectors, photonic devices based on narrow-bandgap
semiconductors, has traditionally been superior to thermal
detectors. Literature about their micro and nanophotonic
enhancement has been scarce and scattered through journals. This
book offers the first systematic approach to numerous different
MEMS and nanotechnology-based methods available for the improvement
of photonic infrared detectors and points out to a path towards
uncooled operation with the performance of cryogenically cooled
devices. It is shown that a vast area for enhancement does exists
and that photonic devices can readily keep their leading position
in infrared detection. The various methods and approaches described
in the book are also directly applicable to different other types
of photodetectors like solar cells, often with little or no
modification.
