The rapid development of interdisciplinary research has enabled the realization of UV detectors based on a variety of principles. Among these devices, UV detectors based on surface acoustic wave(SAW) technology offer unique advantages of remote wireless operation capability and zero power consumption. This article provides a comprehensive review of the working principles, important parameters, and the acoustic wave and materials types used in SAW-based UV detectors. The research and development status of these detectors are discussed and the most commonly used methods to optimize device performance are also summarized. Novel types of acoustic UV detectors based on thin film bulk acoustic resonators(FBARs)and Lamb wave resonators(LMRs) are briefly introduced. Finally, future development challenges are proposed and suggestions for future directions are provided to aid the development of this important research field.展开更多

Here, we report a fast-response CdS-CdSxTei-x-CdTe core-shell nanobelt photodetector with a rise time of 11 /.is, which is the fastest among CdS based photodetectors reported previously. The improved response speed is ascribed to the sup-pressed possibilities of surface reaction resulting from the core-shell structure and heterojunction among the CdS, CdSxTel-x and CdTe. The measured response spectrum of CdS-CdSxTe1-x-CdTe core-shell nano-belt photodetector covers a wide range from 355 to 785 nm. Moreover, high responsivity （1,520 A/W） and large 3 dB bandwidth （~22.9 kHz） are obtained along with the fast response, The high performance in responsivity, sensitivity, spectral response and photoresponse speed makes this device a promising candidate for practical application in optical sensing, communication and imaging.展开更多

The front end of the instrument is made up of a sensor module comprising a thin beam light emitting diode (LED) illuminating a small spot on the metal surface, and a matched pair of photodetectors, one for capturing the reflected light and the other for sampling the scattered light. The analog photocurrent signals are digitized and processed online by a personal computer (PC) to determine the corrosion factor defined in terms of the two current values. By scanning the sample surface using the light beam and by computing the corrosion factor values simultaneously, a three dimensional graph and a two dimensional contour map are generated in the PC using Matlab tools. The values of the corrosion factor measured in different durations of exposure to atmosphere, which obey a bilogarithmic law, testify to the validity of our mathematical model.展开更多
