0, comprising;
a semiconductor layer (1) of index ns and of a thickness ranging between λ
0/4 ns and λ
0/20 ns;
on one side of the semiconductor layer, a first medium (3) of index n1 smaller than ns, transparent to said wavelength;
on the other side of the semiconductor layer;
a region (5) of a second medium (6) of index n2 smaller than ns, having a width L substantially equal to λ
0/ns, andon either side of said region, a third medium (7), of index n3 greater than index n2, forming a reflective interface with the second medium.

Abstract
An element of photodetection of a radiation having a wavelength in vacuum close to a value λ0, including:
- a semiconductor layer of index ns and of a thickness ranging between λ0/4 ns and λ0/20 ns;
- on one side of the semiconductor layer, a first medium of index n1 smaller than ns, transparent to said wavelength;
- on the other side of the semiconductor layer:
- a region of a second medium of index n2 smaller than ns, having a width L substantially equal to λ0/ns and,
- on either side of said region, a third medium, of index n3 greater than index n2, forming a reflective interface with the second medium.
