Enhancing the Capability of A Hybrid TWDM/PON Using Waveguide-Integrated Si/2D Material-Based Photodetector with the Most Suitable Metal-2D Material-Metal (M-2DM-M) Configuration

In the proposed work, a novel architecture of a 10-channel hybrid time-wavelength division multiplexing/passive optical network (TWDM/PON) system is investigated for different data rates: low data rate (2.5 Gbps) and high data rate (10 Gbps) using different two-dimensional (2D) material-based photodetectors with a metal-2D material-metal (M-2DM-M) device structure. Integration with Silicon (Si)…
