摘要
To mymargin evaluate nitrogen-doped diamond as a candidate for Photoconductive Semiconductor Switches (PCSS) triggered in the sub-bandgap visible range, we have fabricated and tested diamond PCSS from a set of diamond grades of varying nitrogen concentration. The nitrogen-doped diamond PCSS have higher responsivity than other diamond optoelectronic devices in the visible range. We present a novel demonstration of sub-bandgap triggered diamond PCSS, which when scaled to higher voltage, can compete with and even surpass performance of existing ultraviolet-triggered diamond PCSS. This work suggests that nitrogen-doped diamond is a promising candidate for high-power, fast optoelectronic devices.
