Abstract
A radiation sensor and a fabrication method thereof are described. In one aspect, the radiation sensor comprises a photo detector, a scintillator on the photo detector, and an adiabatic gradient-index photonic crystal nanostructure between the scintillator and the photo detector. In one instance, the adiabatic gradient-index photonic crystal nanostructure comprises an impedance matching nanostructure. In another instance, the adiabatic gradient-index photonic crystal nanostructure comprises a plurality of nanocones.
