{"title":"Overcoming Chiral‐Optoelectronic Trade‐Off in Two‐Dimensional Halide Perovskites for Circularly Polarized Photodetectors","authors":"Yarong Gu, Ziqing Li, Ming Deng, Xinyu Zhang, Ying Hu, Li Su, Xiaosheng Fang","doi":"10.1002/lpor.202501468","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/lpor.202501468","url":null,"abstract":"Two‐dimensional (2D) perovskites hold great promise for optoelectronic devices due to the flexible tunability of chiral optical activity and optoelectronic properties. However, the trade‐off between strong chiral effect and efficient charge transport restricts their development in high‐performance circularly polarized light (CPL) detection. In this work, a tailored achiral‐chiral cation mixing strategy is proposed to improve the intermolecular forces and out‐of‐plane octahedral tilt in the chiral perovskite, which effectively promotes chirality transfer and van der Waals forces tuned vertical growth. Further, a chiral 2D perovskite‐based CPL photodetector is constructed with balanced high absorption anisotropy (<jats:italic>g</jats:italic><jats:sub>abs</jats:sub>) and photocurrent anisotropy (<jats:italic>g</jats:italic><jats:sub>Iph</jats:sub>). Compared with materials obtained with pure chiral cations, the maximum <jats:italic>g</jats:italic><jats:sub>abs</jats:sub> of this chiral 2D perovskite increased by 7.33 times. The enhanced chiroptical activity and in‐plane transport in vertically oriented chiral 2D perovskites endowed the self‐powered CPL device with outstanding performance and a record <jats:italic>g</jats:italic><jats:sub>Iph</jats:sub> of 0.72. This work opens a reasonable paradigm of chiral 2D perovskite photodetectors in information encryption.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144747064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we recast forward model validation as an out-of-distribution (OoD) detection problem within the framework of machine learning (ML)-based SBI. We employ probability density as the metric for OoD detection, and compare various density estimation techniques, demonstrating that field-level probability density estimation via continuous time flow models (CTFM) significantly outperforms feature-level approaches that combine scattering transform (ST) or convolutional neural networks (CNN) with normalizing flows (NFs), as well as NF-based field-level estimators, as quantified by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Our analysis shows that CTFM not only excels in detecting OoD samples but also provides a robust metric for model selection. Additionally, we verified CTFM maintains consistent efficacy across different cosmologies while mitigating the inductive biases inherent in NF architectures. Although our proof-of-concept study employs simplified forward modeling and noise settings, our framework establishes a promising pathway for identifying unknown systematics in the cosmology datasets.","PeriodicalId":15445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144763346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The EBSMF features a simple and effective structure, constructed by cascading two vertically distributed elliptic single mode fibers (SMFs). Each elliptic SMF is fabricated by bending a SMF to different radii, thereby altering the refractive index (RI) distribution in both the core and cladding, which enhances the evanescent field. This structure can be regarded as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Under external micro-displacement, the radius of the elliptic SMF changes, leading to variations in the RI of the core and cladding, which in turn causes shifts in the resonance dips. The deformation of a single elliptic SMF along the axis of symmetry and perpendicular to the axis of symmetry results in opposite resonance dip shifts. By vertically stacking two elliptic SMFs with different radii, we exploit two distinct dip shift directions to enable precise recognition of displacements along the X, Y, and Z axes. To evaluate the performance of the proposed sensor, four samples with varying radii were fabricated. Experimental results demonstrate displacement sensitivities of 20 pm/μm (X-axis), 27 pm/μm (Y-axis), and 337 pm/μm (Z-axis) within displacement ranges of 0–180 μm (X, Y) and 0–60 μm (Z). The proposed sensor offers advantages in terms of ease of fabrication, high sensitivity and linearity, making it a promising candidate for tactile sensing applications. Additionally, when packaged with a flexible material, the proposed sensor can predict object surface morphology, mimicking the sensing capabilities of human fingers. Notably, the tactile sensor achieves a minimum resolution of 50 μm and response time of 0.9 s, which is comparable to that of human touch.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19511,"journal":{"name":"Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 113645"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144758098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
