可用于多波段融合的超结构/阻挡杂质带复合结构探测器(特邀)

太赫兹辐射是指频率在30μm~1 mm范围内的电磁波,具有穿透性强、安全性高、特征性强及定向性好等特点,因此,太赫兹技术在天文观测、安全监控、物质鉴定及生物医学等领域具有广阔的应用前景。阻挡杂质带探测器具有灵敏度高、阵列规模大、探测谱段宽等核心优势,是太赫兹辐射探测的优良选择。阻挡杂质带探测器目前主要采用三种材料体系,分别为Si、Ge、GaAs。基于这三种材料体系的阻挡杂质带探测器可实现在3~500μm的超宽波段探测。超结构是由亚波长结构单元构成人工复合结构,在光电探测器上引入超结构,利用等离激元共振、偶极共振调控特性,可以将电磁场能量强烈的局域在金属/探测器界面位置。因此,超结构与阻挡杂质带结合,可有效调控探测峰位、缩小探测峰半高宽、强化光谱分辨能力,并有望大规模应用于3~500μm的多波段融合探测。同时,超结构与阻挡杂质带探测器结合,可进一步提高器件响应率,减小器件尺寸,降低工艺难度。文中简要叙述了阻挡杂质带探测器的工作机理,介绍了国内外阻挡杂质带探测器的研究历史及研究现状。最后,在探测器波段调控、光谱分辨、增强吸收等角度详细介绍了Si、Ge、GaAs基超结构/阻挡杂质带复合结构探测器的研究现状,并结合目前该技术发展瓶颈问题,在高纯材料生长、光场局域效应机理研究等方面提出了下一步的研究展望。

Influence of annealing treatment on the luminescent properties of Ta:β-Ga2O3 single crystal

Ta5+doped β-Ga2O3 single crystals were grown by using the optical floating zone method, and then annealed in the air and nitrogen gas at 1400℃ for 20 hours.The transmittance spectra, photoluminescence(PL), x-ray irradiation spectra, and PL decay profiles of the samples were measured at room temperature.The relevant results show that the optical transmittance of the samples annealed in the air or nitrogen gas was improved.By drawing the(ahv)2–hv graph,it can be seen that the band gap decreased after being annealed in the air, but increased in nitrogen gas.The PL spectra and x-ray irradiation spectra show that the luminescent intensity of the sample annealed in the air increased substantially,while decreased for the sample annealed in nitrogen.The PL decay time of the Ta:β-Ga2O3 annealed in the air increased significantly compared with that of the Ta:β-Ga2O3 sample without annealing, but the tendency after annealing in nitrogen gas was opposite.
