Abstract: An apparatus for light detection includes a light, or photon, detector assembly and a dielectric resonator layer coupled to the detector assembly. The dielectric resonator layer is configured to receive transmission of incident light that is directed into the detector assembly by the dielectric resonator layer. The dielectric resonator layer resonates with a range of wavelengths of the incident light.

Abstract: An open circuit voltage photodetector comprises a photovoltaic device including a photovoltaic junction, and a transistor. The photovoltaic device is connected to the gate terminal of the transistor to input an open circuit voltage of the photovoltaic device to the gate terminal. An array of such photodetectors and a readout integrated circuit forms an image sensor. In a photodetection method, an open circuit voltage is generated in a photovoltaic device in response to illumination by incident radiation, and the open circuit voltage is applied to a gate terminal of a transistor to modulate a channel current flowing in a channel of the transistor. A readout electronic circuit may be fabricated with an extra transistor, and a photovoltaic device disposed on the readout electronic circuit and electrically connected to apply an open circuit voltage of the photovoltaic device to a gate of the extra transistor.
