photoconductive photodetectors due to absorption increase offered by a plasmonic
scattering layer of Ag metal nanoparticles. Responsivity enhancements are observed in the
near infrared with a maximum 2.4-fold increase near the absorption band edge of∼ 1 μm
for∼ 400 nm thick devices. Additionally, we study the effect of the mode structure on the
efficiency of light trapping provided by random nanoparticle scattering in CQD films and …
