Abstract

We have developed new types of functional and smart optical silicon sensors, based on ITO/multichannel insulator/silicon structures, which are able to execute electronic functions such as amplifying the photocurrent (without avalanche multiplication), transforming the input optical signal into a radio frequency output signal and transforming the analogue input optical signal to a digital output form, without external active electronic components. These new functional optical sensors allow a substantial simplification of the registration of optical signals as well as of the electronic scheme to be used.
