Despite the fact that broadband single-element detectors with high performance have been demonstrated with various low-dimensional materials, broadband focal plane array imagers have been rarely reported. Here we propose a stacked lead sulfide/mercury telluride colloidal quantum dot photodetector configuration with optimized graded energy gaps. This architecture allows for ultrabroadband spectral response from 0.4 to 5.0 µm, with responsivity values of 0.23, 0.31, 0.83 and 0.71 A W−1 at 0.4, 0.7, 2.2 and 4.2 µm, respectively. We also fabricate a focal plane array imager with a resolution of 640 × 512, a low photoresponse non-uniformity down to 6% and a noise equivalent temperature difference as low as 34 mK. We demonstrate broadband imaging by simultaneously capturing both short-wave infrared and mid-wave infrared information, as well as multispectral imaging in the red, green, blue, short-wave infrared and mid-wave infrared channels, using a set of optical filters. Graded-energy-gap lead sulfide/mercury telluride stacked quantum dots enable photodetection and imaging in a focal plane array configuration from the visible (0.4 µm) to the mid-wave infrared (about 5 µm) region.","PeriodicalId":18926,"journal":{"name":"Nature Photonics","volume":"18 11","pages":"1147-1154"},"PeriodicalIF":32.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141891891","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}

This unique combination delivers a twofold improvement in lateral localization accuracy for single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) and maintains its simplicity. Moreover, the addition of lifetime information from our confocal laser scanning microscope eliminates chromatic aberration, particularly crucial for achieving few-nanometre resolution in SMLM. Our approach, named fluorescence-lifetime image scanning microscopy SMLM, is demonstrated through direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy and DNA point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography experiments on fluorescently labelled cells, showcasing both resolution enhancement and fluorescence-lifetime multiplexing capabilities. The integration of a single-photon detector array and imaging scanning microscopy in a confocal scanning microscope enables doubling the resolution of single-molecule localization microscopy.","PeriodicalId":18926,"journal":{"name":"Nature Photonics","volume":"18 10","pages":"1059-1066"},"PeriodicalIF":32.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141877509","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}

Past implementations of transistors and logic gates with exciton polaritons have been mostly realized using the spatial propagation of polariton fluids, which place high demands on the fabrication of the microcavities and typically require complex manipulations. In this work we have implemented the full set of logical gate functionalities (that is, temporal AND, OR and NOT gates) in localized exciton polaritons at room temperature, on the basis of precisely controlling the interplay between polariton condensate and exciton reservoir dynamics, using a two-pulse excitation scheme. The dynamics intrinsically covers the cascadability required by the logical operations, enabling efficient information processing without the need for spatial flow. The temporal polariton logic gates demonstrate advantages in ultrafast switching, universality and simplified compatibility with other dimensional controls, showing great potential for building polariton logic networks in strongly coupled light–matter systems. Researchers have achieved AND, OR and NOT gates, using localized exciton polaritons at room temperature. The logic is based on temporal gates, rather than relying on the usual spatial propagation approaches.","PeriodicalId":18926,"journal":{"name":"Nature Photonics","volume":"18 8","pages":"864-869"},"PeriodicalIF":32.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-024-01483-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141877557","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}
