Abstract
Metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodiodes are commonly used in ultrafast photoelectronic devices. Re- cently it was shown that localized surface plasmons can su_ciently enhance photodetector capabilities at both infrared and visible wavelengths. Such structures are of great interest since they can be used for fast, broadband detection. By utilizing the properties of plasmonic structures it is possible to design photodetectors that are sensitive to the polarization state of the incident wave. The direct electrical readout of the polarization state of an incident optical beam has many important applications, especially in telecommunications, bio-imaging and photonic computing. Furthermore, t..
