We report on a simple passivation strategy to improve the device performance of a near infrared (NIR) photodetector. Optoelectronic analysis reveals that after ultrathin AlOxpassivation, the device exhibits an obvious increase in on/off ratio. What is more, the response speed of the device was improved by more than 100 times, from 48 μs to 380 ns.

Breath monitoring is significant in assessing human body conditions, such as cardiac and pulmonary symptoms. Optical fiber-based sensors have attracted much attention since they are immune to electromagnetic radiation, thus are safe for patients. Here, a microfiber (MF) humidity sensor is fabricated by coating tin disulfide (SnS2) nanosheets onto the surface of MF. The small diameter (~8 μm) and the long length (~5 mm) of the MF promise strong interaction between guiding light and SnS2. Thus, a small variation in the relative humidity (RH) will lead to a large change in optical transmitted power. A high RH sensitivity of 0.57 dB/%RH is therefore achieved. The response and recovery times are estimated to be 0.08 and 0.28 s, respectively. The high sensitivity and fast response speed enable our SnS2-MF sensor to monitor human breath in real time.

Abstract Gas sensors with high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, high selectivity, fast response, and small footprint are desirable across a broad range of applications in energy, environment, safety, and public health. However, designing a compact gas sensor with ultra-high sensitivity and ultra-wide dynamic range remains a challenge. Laser-based photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) is a promising candidate to fill this gap. Herein, we report a novel method to simultaneously enhance the acoustic and light waves for PAS using integrated optical and acoustic resonators. This increases sensitivity by more than two orders of magnitude and extends the dynamic range by more than three orders of magnitude, compared with the state-of-the-art photoacoustic gas sensors. We demonstrate the concept by exploiting a near-infrared absorption line of acetylene (C2H2) at 1531.59 nm, achieving a detection limit of 0.5 parts-per-trillion (ppt), a noise equivalent absorption (NEA) of 5.7×10-13 cm-1 and a linear dynamic range of eight orders of magnitude. This study enables the realization of compact ultra-sensitive and ultra-wide-dynamic-range gas sensors in a number of different fields.

The paper compares two-dimensional (2D) material detectors performance with traditionally and commercially available ones operating in high temperature conditions. The most effective single graphene detectors are THz detectors which utilize plasma rectification phenomena in FETs. Most of 2D layered semiconducting material photodetectors operate at the visible and near-infrared regions and generally their high sensitivity does not coincide with a fast response time, which limits real detector functions.

Abstract Van der Waals heterostructures based on the combination of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and conventional semiconductors offer new opportunities for the next generation of optoelectronics. In this work, the sulfurization of Mo film is used to synthesize vertically-aligned MoS2 nanofilm (V-MoS2) with wafer-size and layer controllability. The V-MoS2/n-Si heterojunction was fabricated by using a 20-nm thickness V-MoS2, and the self-powered broadband photodetectors covering from deep ultraviolet to near infrared is achieved. The device shows superior responsivity (5.06 mA/W), good photodetectivity (5.36×1011 Jones) and high on/off ratio Ion/Ioff (8.31 ×103 at 254 nm). Furthermore, the V-MoS2/n-Si heterojunction device presents a fast response speed with the rise time and fall time being 54.53 ms and 97.83 ms, respectiveely. The high photoelectric performances could be attributed to the high-quality heterojunction between the V-MoS2 and n-Si. These findings suggest that the V-MoS2/n-Si heterojunction has great potential applications in the deep ultraviolet-near infrared detection field, and might be used as a part of the construction of integrated optoelectronic systems.

The electrical properties of nanostructured Aluminum (Al) doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films based ultraviolet (UV) sensor prepared by sol-gel spin-coating method have been investigated. Uniform nanoparticles Al doped ZnO have been deposited with high absorption coefficient at UV region and low absorption coefficient properties in visible and near-infrared (NIR) region. I-V spectra show high sensitivity characteristic of UV sensor with fast response after UV light exposure.
