Article Abstract
Single-pixel imaging (SPI) is highly effective for weak light detection. However, SPI often requires extensive photon accumulation cycles to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of images. This process can lead to pile-up effects when multiple photons hit the detector simultaneously, causing signal distortion and degradation of imaging quality. To address these challenges, we propose a blocky basis scanning method that combines the robustness of point-scanning imaging with the efficiency of SPI. This approach significantly reduces the required dynamic range for photon counting compared to SPI using Hadamard patterns. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed strategy decreases photon usage by 25 times compared to Hadamard patterns. Additionally, the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the retrieved image is increased by 1.1 times, achieving imaging with just 1.34 photons per pixel. The proposed method improves information acquisition speed and SNR in SPI while enabling three-dimensional object reconstruction, making it promising for mapping applications.

Single-pixel imaging is emerging as a promising alternative to traditional focal plane array technologies, offering advantages in compactness and cost-effectiveness. However, the lack of solar-blind photodetectors combining fast-response and high-sensitivity has constrained their application in the deep ultraviolet spectrum. This work introduces a self-powered solar-blind photodetector based on a heterostructure comprising a GaO photosensitive layer, an AlN barrier layer, and an N-polar AlGaN:Si contact layer.

Quantum imaging, operating at extremely low photon flux and accommodating nondegenerate imaging wavelengths, offers a unique approach for imaging light-sensitive structures. Conventional quantum imaging systems often require costly intensified charge-coupled devices together with complex delay line and triggering electronics, limiting broader applications. In this work, we propose an approach for quantum imaging that uses a simple rotating mask coded with cyclic Hadamard patterns, together with single-pixel detectors, eliminating the need for the abovementioned specialized devices.

Biological vision systems excel at acquiring and processing information, but there is often a trade-off between these capabilities. For instance, mantis shrimp possess exceptional spectral sensing but poor color perception due to limited neural processing. Taking the best of both worlds, the mantis shrimp's spectral detection ability and the human-like visual processing power are integrated to achieve full-color perception.

Organic semiconductors have demonstrated exceptional performance due to their inherent advantages such as simple processability, and superior mechanical properties. Developing polarization-sensitive near-infrared (NIR) organic photodetectors is crucial for their application in target recognition, biological imaging, and wearable optoelectronics. However, high-performance NIR photon detection still faces challenges for organic materials, due to their intrinsic limitations including low carrier mobility, and poor exciton dissociation.
