Abstract
Short-wave infrared (SWIR) polarized detectors, renowned for their high-resolution imaging and atmospheric penetration capabilities, are pivotal for advancing autonomous navigation, industrial automation, and space communications. The responsivity of commercial InGaAs photodetectors (typically ∼1 A/W at 1550 nm) serves as a key benchmark for high-performance detection at this wavelength. However, achieving higher responsivity and potentially streamlining the fabrication process remain research goals. Herein, we present a PdSe2/Bi2O2Se heterostructure detector that synergistically utilizes the effective separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs and photogating effect to achieve breakthrough performance in SWIR. A high responsivity of 21 A/W, an external quantum efficiency of 1680%, and a specific detectivity of 5.7 × 109 Jones at 1550 nm were demonstrated. Simultaneously, it achieves a fast response time (131/492 μs) and polarization-sensitive functionality. High-resolution SWIR and polarized light imaging were also demonstrated. These findings outline an approach to developing miniaturized, room-temperature SWIR detectors with high-performance metrics.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
