NTT Corporation (NTT) and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) have jointly achieved the world's fastest zero-bias operation1 (220 GHz) of a graphene photodetector (PD) 2.

Key Points: 
  • NTT Corporation (NTT) and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) have jointly achieved the world's fastest zero-bias operation1 (220 GHz) of a graphene photodetector (PD) 2.
  • Furthermore, the research conducted by NTT and NIMS clarified the optical-to-electrical (O-E) conversion process in graphene for the first time.
  • For this reason, the challenge for graphene PDs is to demonstrate 200-GHz operation speeds and clarify graphene's inherent properties, such the process of optical-to-electrical conversion.
