Commercially available SWCNTs typically comprise a mixture of chiralities with an enrichment of (6,5)-SWCNTs, which is often used in biosensing applications. The (6,5)-SWCNTs are characterized by an emission peak at ~1000 nm with a full-width half maximum (FWHM) of around 30 nm. This emission lies precisely at the spectral boundary where the sensitivity of the silicon (Si) detectors ends (300 nm -1100 nm) and the sensitivity of InGaAs detectors (900 nm -1700 nm) begins. In most studies utilizing the fluorescence of (6,5)-SWCNT for biosensing, single-pixel InGaAs photodiodes or InGaAs cameras are used for detection. However, silicon offers intrinsic advantages compared to InGaAs as a detector material. Due to the lower bandgap of InGaAs, thermal noise is more prevalent in InGaAs detectors. Additionally, black-body radiation becomes a nonneglectable factor at higher wavelengths. (6,4)-SWCNTs, which emit closer to the Vis at 880 nm, are detected more effectively by Si-than InGaAs-cameras despite the low quantum efficiency of standard Si-cameras at this wavelength. In comparison, (6,5)-SWCNTs are better detected by an InGaAs-camera. However, at present, the broader adoption of (6,4)-SWCNTs is hindered by the necessity for isolation from the chiral mixture. Si PIN photodiodes, on the other hand, are based on a pn diode with an additional intrinsic layer. The thicker absorption area increases the sensitivity for wavelengths in the NIR range, which makes them interesting candidates for the detection of NIR fluorophores in the 1000 nm range, such as (6,5)-SWCNTs.
