Transparent multispectral photodetectors mimicking the human visual system

Flexible hybrid graphene/a-Si:H multispectral photodetectors.

We report on the integration of large area CVD grown single- and bilayer graphene transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) on amorphous silicon multispectral photodetectors. The broadband transmission of graphene results in 440% enhancement of the detectors' spectral response in the ultraviolet (UV) region at λ = 320 nm compared to reference devices with conventional aluminum doped zinc oxide (...

Top illuminated organic photodetectors with dielectric/metal/dielectric transparent anode

The top illuminated organic photodetectors (OPDs) with a Dielectric/Metal/Dielectric (DMD) transparent anode are fabricated. The transparent electrode is composed of molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3)/silver (Ag)/MoO 3 layers and zinc oxide (ZnO)/aluminum (Al) is used for bottom cathode. The optimized DMD electrode has an optical transmittance of 85.7% at the wavelength of 546 nm and sheet resistance ...

Fabrication of Photodetectors using Transparent Carbon Nanotube Films

Carbon nanotubes are promising nanoscale materials for novel electrical, mechanical, chemical, and biological device and sensors based on its outstanding properties. Single walled carbon nanotubes can be either semiconducting or metallic material depending on its structures. However, controlling the structure is quite challenging with current technologies. For the network formation of the singl...

Gel wax-based tissue-mimicking phantoms for multispectral photoacoustic imaging

Tissue-mimicking phantoms are widely used for the calibration, evaluation and standardisation of medical imaging systems, and for clinical training. For photoacoustic imaging, tissue-mimicking materials (TMMs) that have tuneable optical and acoustic properties, high stability, and mechanical robustness are highly desired. In this study, gel wax is introduced as a TMM that satisfies these criter...
