Noise logic with an InGaN/SiNx/Si uniband diode photodetector

Jiaxun Song et al.

Summary: Noise logic is introduced based on the wavelength dependent photocurrent noise of an InGaN/SiNx/Si uniband diode photodetector. A discrimination map is created to distinguish different wavelengths based on the larger photocurrent noise for red light compared to green light. By utilizing the standard deviation of photocurrent noise, a minimum measurement time of four seconds is determined for safe wavelength distinction. A logic NOT gate is implemented using red or green light as binary inputs and the photocurrent noise above or below a defined threshold as binary outputs.
