Experimental Lateral PIN Gated Photodiode RGB Discrimination with Multiple Incident Optical Power

The lateral PIN gated photodiode is used here as a RGB color and incident optical power discriminator through experimental measurements. The ability to discriminate the color and the incident optical power through conventional MOS fabrication process without the need of optical filters and concentrate in a single device is evaluated through experimental data on lateralPIN gated photodiode to demonstrate the viability of using it to discriminate both color and optical power. Numerical simulations are also used to analyze the use of mechanical strain to boostits performance and the changes that it causes in the generated photocurrent.
