Photoelectric tunable-step terahertz detectors: a study on optimal antenna parameters, speed, and temperature performance.

Field effect transistors have shown promising performance as terahertz (THz) detectors over the past few decades. Recently, a quantum phenomenon, the in-plane photoelectric effect, was discovered as a novel detection mechanism in gated two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs), and devices based on this effect, photoelectric tunable-step (PETS) THz detectors, have been proposed as sensitive THz detectors. Here, we demonstrate a PETS THz detector based on GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction using a dipole antenna.

Opti-MSFA: a toolbox for generalized design and optimization of multispectral filter arrays.

Multispectral imaging captures spatial information across a set of discrete spectral channels and is widely utilized across diverse applications such as remote sensing, industrial inspection, and biomedical imaging. Multispectral filter arrays (MSFAs) are filter mosaics integrated atop image sensors that facilitate cost-effective, compact, snapshot multispectral imaging. MSFAs are pre-configured based on application-where filter channels are selected corresponding to targeted absorption spectra-making the design of optimal MSFAs vital for a given application.

Large Switchable Photoconduction within 2D Potential Well of a Layered Ferroelectric Heterostructure.

The coexistence of large conductivity and robust ferroelectricity is promising for high-performance ferroelectric devices based on polarization-controllable highly efficient carrier transport. Distinct from traditional perovskite ferroelectrics, Bi WO with a layered structure shows a great potential to preserve its ferroelectricity under substantial electron doping. Herein, by artificial design of photosensitive heterostructures with desired band alignment, three orders of magnitude enhancement of the short-circuit photocurrent is achieved in Bi WO /SrTiO at room temperature.
