Article Abstract
Colloidal quantum dot (CQD)-based photodetectors are promising alternatives to bulk semiconductor-based detectors to be monolithically integrated with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor readout integrated circuits avoiding high-cost epitaxial growth methods and complicated flip-bonding processes. To date, photovoltaic (PV) single-pixel detectors have led to the best performance with background-limit infrared photodetection performance. However, the nonuniform and uncontrollable doping methods and complex device configuration restrict the focal plane array (FPA) imagers to operate in PV mode. Here, we propose a controllable in situ electric field-activated doping method to construct lateral p-n junctions in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) mercury telluride (HgTe) CQD-based photodetectors with a simple planar configuration. The planar p-n junction FPA imagers with 640 × 512 pixels (15-μm pixel pitch) are fabricated and exhibit substantially improved performance compared with photoconductor imagers before activation. High-resolution SWIR infrared imaging is demonstrated with great potential for various applications including semiconductor inspection, food safety, and chemical analysis.

Fourier-transform (FT) spectrometer data must be calibrated using at least two reference sources to yield a target temperature. An experiment was performed with an ABB MR304 FTIR spectrometer to determine the best calibration method for data from its MCT (mercury-cadmium-telluride) and InSb (indium-antimonide) detectors at temperatures well above the reference temperatures (extrapolation), as well as to analyze the effects of mesh screens on the detector behavior and calibration quality. Four datasets were collected and plotted on radiance versus instrument response plots to analyze the detector behaviors and to test how well lower temperature points predicted higher temperature points with linear and quadratic fitting.

Mercury telluride (HgTe) nanocrystals (NCs) offer adjustable absorption and solution-processable fabrication, making them promising materials for low-cost, high-resolution imaging across a wide infrared (IR) spectrum. However, photodetectors based on HgTe NCs often suffer from high dark current, elevated noise arising from trap states and interface defects, and limited structural tunability, which constrain their sensitivity, dynamic range, and applicability in intelligent vision applications. Here, it is reported a dual-gate carbon nanotubes (CNTs) field-effect transistor incorporating an HgTe NC-based PIN heterojunction as the top gate, which converts incident IR light into a photovoltage that functions as a dynamic optical gate, while an independently addressable local bottom gate adjusts the carrier concentration in the CNT channel.

Compared to the traditional flip-chip bonded focal plane array, in high-density vertically integrated photodiode (HDVIP) focal plane technology, the thickness of the mercury cadmium telluride (MCT or HgCdTe) layer serves as a more critical parameter. This parameter not only influences the efficiency of photon energy absorption but also defines the pn junction area, thereby affecting the magnitude of the dark current. Furthermore, it significantly impacts the manufacturability of via-hole etching and formation processes.

We report on a 100-kHz two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectrometer in the pump-probe geometry, which we apply to the measurement of the 2DIR spectrum of carboxyhemoglobin. The probe pulses are spectrally resolved by chirped-pulse upconversion (CPU) using a fast 2048-pixel line scan CMOS camera. The two-pulse pump sequence is generated using a conventional interferometer with a fast-scanning mechanical delay line allowing to achieve a scanning frequency of 2 Hz.
