Conventional approaches encounter challenges such as low resolution and crosstalk issues caused by a thick absorption layer (AL). Therefore, we propose a guided-mode resonance (GMR) structure to enhance the quantum efficiency (QE) of the InGaAs PDs in the SWIR region with only sub-micron-thick AL. The TiOx/Au-based GMR structure compensates for the reduced AL thickness, achieving a remarkably high QE (>70%) from 400 to 1700 nm with only a 0.98 μm AL InGaAs PD (defined as 1 μm AL PD). This represents a reduction in thickness by at least 2.5 times compared to previous results while maintaining a high QE. Furthermore, the rapid transit time is highly expected to result in decreased electrical crosstalk. The effectiveness of the GMR structure is evident in its ability to sustain QE even with a reduced AL thickness, simultaneously enhancing the transit time. This breakthrough offers a viable solution for high-resolution and low-noise broadband image sensors.","PeriodicalId":18093,"journal":{"name":"Light, science & applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"311"},"PeriodicalIF":19.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11568205/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142639251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extended depth of field presents a potential solution to accelerate imaging of large samples when compression of information along the optical axis is not detrimental to the interpretation of images. We have implemented an extended depth of field (EDF) approach in a random illumination microscope (RIM). RIM uses multiple speckled illuminations and variance data processing to double the resolution. It is particularly adapted to the imaging of thick samples as it does not require the knowledge of illumination patterns. We demonstrate highly-resolved projective images of biological tissues and cells. Compared to a sequential scan of the imaged volume with conventional 2D-RIM, EDF-RIM allows an order of magnitude improvement in speed and light dose reduction, with comparable resolution. As the axial information is lost in an EDF modality, we propose a method to retrieve the sample topography for samples that are organized in cell sheets.","PeriodicalId":18093,"journal":{"name":"Light, science & applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"285"},"PeriodicalIF":19.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11479626/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142391640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a paradigm, we capitalize on planar liquid crystal optics to implement the proposed framework, with each liquid-crystal unit cell acting as both phase modulator and electrically tunable spectral filter. Experiments with various targets show that the resulting millimeter-scale hyperspectral camera exhibits both high spectral fidelity ( > 95%) and high spatial resolutions ( ~1.7 times the diffraction limit). The proposed \"two-in-one\" framework can resolve the conflicts between spectral and imaging resolutions, which paves a practical pathway for advancing hyperspectral imaging systems toward miniaturization and portable applications.","PeriodicalId":18093,"journal":{"name":"Light, science & applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"242"},"PeriodicalIF":19.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11381520/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142154490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the PE signals are generated by the continuous energy conversion processes from light, heat, to electricity, normally leading to very slow response speeds. Herein, we design and fabricate a PE detector which shows extremely fast response in near-infrared (NIR) band by combining with the inhomogeneous plasmonic metasurface. The plasmonic effect dramatically accelerates the light-heat conversion process, unprecedentedly improving the NIR response speed by 2-4 orders of magnitude to 22 μs, faster than any reported infrared (IR) PE detector. We also innovatively introduce the concept of time resolution into the field of PE detection, which represents the detector's ability to distinguish multiple fast-moving targets. Furthermore, the spatially inhomogeneous design overcomes the traditional narrowband constraint of plasmonic systems and thus ensures a wideband response from visible to NIR. This study provides a promising approach to develop next-generation IR PE detectors with ultrafast and broadband responses.","PeriodicalId":18093,"journal":{"name":"Light, science & applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"241"},"PeriodicalIF":19.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11377428/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142140489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, anisotropic two-dimensional materials have emerged for ultrafast switching of polarization-multiplexed optical signals, but face challenges with low polarization ratios and limited spectral ranges. Here, we apply strain to quasi-one-dimensional layered ZrSe3 to enhance polarization selectivity and tune operational energies in ultrafast all-optical switching. Initially, transient absorption on unstrained ZrSe3 reveals a sub-picosecond switching response in polarization along a specific crystal axis, attributed to shifting-recovery dynamics of an anisotropic exciton. However, its polarization selectivity is weakened by a slow non-excitonic response in the perpendicular polarization. To overcome this limitation, we apply strain to ZrSe3 by bending its flexible substrate. The compressive strain spectrally decouples the excitonic and non-excitonic components, doubling the polarization selectivity of the sub-picosecond switching and tripling it compared to that in the tensile-strained ZrSe3. It also effectively tunes the switching energy at a shift rate of ~93 meV %-1. This strain-tunable switching is repeatable, reversible, and robustly maintains the sub-picosecond operation. First-principles calculations reveal that the strain control is enabled by momentum- and band-dependent modulations of the electronic band structure, causing opposite shifts in the excitonic and non-excitonic transitions. Our findings offer a novel approach for high-performance, wavelength-tunable, polarization-selective ultrafast optical switching.","PeriodicalId":18093,"journal":{"name":"Light, science & applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"240"},"PeriodicalIF":19.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11377565/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142140488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
