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.

Chiral Super-dispersion: A New Mechanism for Spectral Imaging

In the context of rapid advancements in technologies such as autonomous driving, medical diagnosis, and environmental remote sensing, traditional imaging systems can only capture intensity information of red, green, and blue light, and cannot provide more precise spectral data. However, this data is crucial for material identification, health diagnosis, and environmental monitoring. With the development of artificial intelligence, modern intelligent systems urgently require spectral imaging technology that can provide richer information to perceive the world more comprehensively.
