    Area of Science:

    • Nanophotonics
    • Materials Science
    • Optoelectronics

    Background:

    • Efficient light absorption is crucial for photovoltaic devices and photodetectors.
    • Traditional nanostructures often face limitations in maximizing light-matter interactions across desired wavelengths.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Analysis of mode profiles and scattering spectra was conducted to understand light confinement and conversion.
    • Performance metrics such as current density and absorption efficiency were calculated.

    Main Results:

    • Grating nanowires sustain high-amplitude waveguide modes, creating a strong optical antenna effect.
    • Periodic shells were shown to convert plane waves into trapped waveguide modes, causing scattering dips.
    • A 200 nm diameter silicon nanowire demonstrated a current density of ~28 mA/cm² and absorption efficiency exceeding unity in the infrared spectrum.

    Conclusions:

    • Rationally designed 3D grating nanowires offer a powerful platform for boosting light absorption.
    • These structures show significant potential for enhancing the performance of photovoltaic devices and color-sensitive photodetectors.
