Abstract
A resonance-enhanced GaInAsSb nanopillar array negative electron affinity potential photocathode based on Mie resonance excitation at infrared wavelengths can significantly enhance the absorption and quantum efficiency of nanopillar arrays. Our study indicates the different periodic structures have very little effect on the QE for the nanopillar arrays. However, the smaller the period of the array, the higher the quantum efficiency is achieved, but the probability of being collected by the anode is reduced, so a compromise should be considered in the structure design. Moreover, the incident light inclination and the external electric field can significantly affect the quantum efficiency of the nanopillar arrays. The photocathodes studied here have a quantum efficiency of over 5.7% with an angle of incidence of 30∘ and an applied electric field intensity of 1.2[Formula: see text]V/[Formula: see text]m. This work provides an important reference and theoretical basis for the design and optimization of resonance-enhanced GaInAsSb nanopillar arrays photocathode.
