In the optics communication wavelength, germanium is a promising material for detecting optical signals to encode into electrical signals. Not only because of the enough absorptance of material but also its high-refractive-index, it supported us a chance to realize a germanium metasurface photodetector at 1550 nm. Here we study 2D periodic germanium nanoantenna arrays (Ge NA arrays) that support optically induced electric dipole (ED), magnetic dipole (MD) and lattice resonances (LR). By overlapping Mie resonances and ED-lattice resonances, we can realize the resonant lattice Kerker effect and achieve a narrowband absorption to apply in the photodetector. The absorptance of Ge NA arrays increases 6-folds in comparison to unpatterned Ge films. In addition, the photocurrent in such germanium metasurface NAs photodetector enlarges about 5 times comparing with the pure germanium film photodetector due to the strong near fields confinement.
