Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of near-infrared (NIR) absorbance attenuation of silicon, a method of preparing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the micro-nano-structured black silicon (B-Si) is proposed. In this study, the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of AuNPs excited by a light field is used to achieve B-Si materials with broad spectrum and high absorption. The results show that nanometer B-Si composited with 25-nm AuNPs has an average absorption of 98.6% in the spectral range of 400-1100 nm and 97.8% in the spectral range of 1100-2500 nm. Compared with ordinary B-Si, the absorption spectrum is broadened from 400-1100 nm to 400-2500 nm, and the absorption is increased from 90.1 to 97.8% at 1100-2500 nm. It is possible to use the B-Si materials in the field of NIR-enhanced photoelectric detection and micro-optical night vision imaging due to the low cost, high compatibility, and reliability.
