Abstract

In this work, we propose using periodic Au nanoparticles (NPs) in indium selenide-based optoelectronic devices to tune the optical absorption of indium selenide. Electromagnetic simulations show that optical absorption of indium selenide can be manipulated by tuning plasmonic resonance. The effect on the plasmonic resonance of the size, period of NPs, the thickness of silicon oxide, and the insulator spacer is systematically analyzed. A high absorption enhancement over the visible spectrum is achieved through systematic optimization of nanostructures.
