This work reports a novel mid-infrared (MIR) lateral Ge1-xSnx (x = 6%) waveguide-based phototransistors (PTs) on a silicon platform. A lateral device structure is proposed to enhance the optical confinement factor (OCF) and the optical power through the i-GeSn waveguide, thereby, increasing the o...
