Abstract
This study offers a comprehensive review of gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃)-based photodetectors, emphasizing their applications in solar-blind UV detection and missile tracking systems. Using bibliometric, patent, and content analysis, research trends and technological developments were examined through an extensive review of scientific publications and patents. The analysis highlights the evolution of Ga₂O₃ photodetectors, particularly in fabrication techniques, device performance, and military applications. The study identifies critical research gaps, such as the need for optimized fabrication methods and the development of self-powered photodetectors. It proposes a research agenda to improve the efficiency and reliability of Ga₂O₃-based photodetectors for advanced applications, including missile detection and beyond.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
