Article Abstract
Photodetectors converting optical signals into electrical signals have been widely utilized and have received more and more attention in scientific research and industrial fields including optical interconnection, optical communication, and environmental monitoring. Herein, we summarize the latest development of photodetectors with different micro-nano structures and different materials and the performance indicators of photodetectors. Several photodetectors, such as flexible, ultraviolet two-dimensional (2D) microscale, and dual-band photodetectors, are listed in this minireview. Meanwhile, the current bottleneck and future development prospects of the photodetector are discussed.

Antimony selenide (SbSe), a narrow-bandgap semiconductor with strong light absorption, exhibits photoresponse up to ≈1050 nm due to its intrinsic 1.15 eV bandgap. To extend detection into the near-infrared (NIR, 700-1350 nm), Bi-alloyed (BiSb)Se is developed via vacuum sputtering and postselenization.

Seamless integration of active devices into photonic integrated circuits remains a challenge due to the limited accessibility of the optical field in conventional waveguides, which tightly confine light within their cores. In this study, we propose a two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin waveguide as a photonic platform that enables efficient interaction between guided light and surface-mounted devices by supporting optical modes dominated by evanescent fields. We show that the guided light in a monolayer MoS film propagates over millimeter-scale distances with more than 99.

Nanoparticles in their pure colloidal form synthesized by laser-assisted processes such as laser ablation/fragmentation/irradiation/melting in liquids have attained much interest from the scientific community because of their specialties like facile synthesis, ultra-high purity, biocompatibility, colloidal stability in addition to other benefits like tunable size and morphology, crystalline phases, new compounds and alloys, and defect engineering. These nanocolloids are useful for fabricating different devices mainly with applications in optoelectronics, catalysis, sensors, photodetectors, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates, and solar cells. In this review article, we describe different methods of nanocolloidal synthesis using laser-assisted processes and corresponding thin film fabrication methods, particularly those utilized for device fabrication and characterization.

Contactless human-machine interfaces (C-HMIs) are revolutionizing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven domains, yet face application limitations due to narrow sensing ranges, environmental fragility, and structural rigidity. To address these obstacles, we developed a flexible photonic C-HMI (Flex-PCI) using flexible visible-blind near-infrared organic photodetectors. In addition to its unprecedented performance across key metrics, including broad detection range (0.

Background: High-resolution and high-sensitivity small-animal positron emission tomography (PET) scanners are essential non-invasive functional imaging tools in preclinical research. To develop small-animal PET scanners with uniform and high spatial resolution across the field-of-view, PET detectors capable of providing good depth-of-interaction (DOI) information are critical. Dual-ended readout detectors based on lutetium-yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) arrays with fine pitch represent a promising approach, wherein the choice of inter-crystal reflector significantly impacts the detector performance.
