About this Research Topic
Photodetection is a cornerstone of modern optoelectronics, enabling the detection and interpretation of light across diverse wavelengths, intensities and polarization etc. multi-dimensional information. As we advance into an era marked by the Internet of Things, high-speed communication networks, and advanced imaging technology, the demand for photodetectors with superior performance metrics and adaptability to novel applications is escalating. The imperative to enhance the capabilities of photodetectors drives the need for innovative materials, cutting-edge device designs, and the exploration of groundbreaking applications.
This Research Topic aims to compile significant research and reviews on the synthesis of innovative photodetecting materials, the development of cutting-edge photodetector structures, and the exploration of their novel applications, thereby driving the advancement of photodetection technology and its impact on future applications.
We welcome original research articles, review papers, and short communications include, but are not limited to:
1. Emerging Photodetecting Materials: We invite research on the synthesis and characterization of next-generation photodetecting materials, such as perovskites, polymers, novel two-dimensional materials, and quantum dots, which promise to redefine the performance benchmarks of photodetectors.
2. Innovative Photodetector Structures: Contributions detailing the development of photodetectors with innovative structures, novel operating principles, and exceptional figure-of-merit parameters are encouraged. This includes devices that exhibit heightened sensitivity, speed, and dynamic range.
3. New Applications of Photodetectors: This special issue seeks to highlight the burgeoning applications of photodetectors within the realms of fundamental science, medicine, and biology. We are especially interested in manuscripts that present innovative uses of photodetectors for the detection and analysis of radiation emanating from ionizing particles, x-rays, and neutrons.
