An image sensor and methods of use the image sensor, methods of manufacturing the image sensor, and apparatuses comprising the image sensor are disclosed. The image sensor has pixels includes at least one nanopillar with a gate electrode surrounding the at least one nanopillar, wherein the at least one nanopillar is adapted to convert light impinging thereon to electrical signals and the gate electrode is operable to pinch off or allow current flow through the at least one nanopillar. The image sensor can have a plurality of pixels arranged in an individually addressable fashion. The at least one nanopillar has a cladding. A refractive index of the cladding being smaller than a refractive index of the nanopillar. |
