Black arsenene multi-spectral integrated field-effect transistors, aiding high-resolution imaging and enhanced secure communication.

With the development of modern communication technology, the demand for broadband, room-temperature infrared, and terahertz (THz) detectors has rapidly increased. These detectors play a crucial role in fields such as telecommunications, security inspection, non-destructive testing, and medical diagnostics. However, existing optical detectors face challenges such as high intrinsic dark current and the need for low-temperature cooling, which limit their efficiency in detecting low-energy photons. Particularly in the terahertz band, the photon energy is insufficient to excite electron transitions from the valence band maximum (VBM) to the conduction band minimum (CBM), making effective optoelectronic conversion difficult. Therefore, researchers have been seeking ultra-broadband detectors that can operate at room temperature and respond to wavelengths ranging from visible light to the terahertz band.

Laser-based tiered neurons achieve high-speed reservoir computing.

Neuromorphic computing is a computational paradigm that simulates the functions and architecture of biological neurons. A single biological neuron is a powerful computational unit with information processing capabilities, information transmission abilities, and memory functions. Therefore, it is crucial to design a photonic neuromorphic processor that can truly emulate the powerful computational functions of biological neurons.

Mid-infrared nonlinear Fourier stacked imaging

Mid-infrared imaging can obtain unique information such as target radiation temperature and chemical composition, and has wide applications in fields such as biomedical science, materials science, and environmental monitoring. For a long time, the development of large field of view, high resolution, and high sensitivity mid-infrared imaging technology has been an important goal pursued in the field of infrared measurement and control, providing key support to meet the application needs of extreme scenarios such as high throughput and low illumination, for example, long-distance infrared remote sensing, deep penetration imaging, low light toxicity biological tissue observation, and non-destructive detection of photosensitive materials.

Deep trap ultraviolet long afterglow luminescent materials for optical information storage in bright field environments.

Long afterglow luminescent materials are a special type of photoluminescent materials that can continue to emit light even after the external excitation (such as ultraviolet light, high-energy X-rays, sunlight, etc.) has stopped. The duration of the luminescence can range from a few seconds to several weeks.
