摘要

In this letter, we report a quantum dot photodetector enhanced by Fano-type interference in a metallic two-dimensional (2D) subwavelength hole array (2DSHA). The photocurrent enhancement wavelength shows an offset from the plasmonic resonant peak and corresponds to a dip in the transmission spectrum of the 2DSHA structure. The offset is attributed to the Fano-type interference in the 2DSHA structure. The asymmetric line shapes of the plasmonic resonance are analyzed and agree well with the two-peak Fano-type interference model. Over 100% enhancement in photodetectivity and photoresponsivity is achieved at the wavelength of the Fano dip of the first order plasmonic mode.
