In-situ fabrication of on-chip 1T'-MoTe_(2)/Ge Schottky junction photodetector for self-powered broadband infrared imaging and position sensing

High-sensitivity room-temperature multi-dimensional infrared(IR)detection is crucial for military and civilian purposes.Recently,the gapless electronic structures and unique optoelectrical properties have made the two-dimensional(2D)topological semimetals promising candidates for the realization of multifunctional optoelectronic devices.Here,we demonstrated the in-situ construction of high-performance 1T’-MoTe_(2)/Ge Schottky junction device by inserting an ultrathin AlOx passivation layer.The good detection performance with an ultra-broadband detection wavelength range of up to 10.6 micron,an ultrafast response time of~160 ns,and a large specific detectivity of over 109 Jones in mid-infrared(MIR)range surpasses that of most 2D materials-based IR sensors,approaching the performance of commercial IR photodiodes.The on-chip integrated device arrays with 64 functional detectors feature high-resolution imaging capability at room temperature.All these outstanding detection features have enabled the demonstration of position-sensitive detection applications.It demonstrates an exceptional position sensitivity of 14.9 mV/mm,an outstanding nonlinearity of 6.44%,and commendable trajectory tracking and optoelectronic demodulation capabilities.This study not only offers a promising route towards room-temperature MIR optoelectronic applications,but also demonstrates a great potential for application in optical sensing systems.

An improved method of angle measurement with a position sensitive detector

An improved method of angle measurement is proposed based on a parallel plate interferometer. A position detection system is incorporated into a parallel plate interferometer in order to realize large deflection angle measurement. A reflecting mirror is introduced for increasing the measurement resolution. In experiments, a deflection angle of a measured target was measured within ～3° with high accuracy. And as a phase modulating interferometer, it was used to measure a small angular displacement with a repeatability of 5.5 × 10^-8 rad.

Self-Collimation for Two-Dimensional Micro-Angle Measurement in Space

How to measure the two-dimensional attitude angle of space target and achieve stable tracking and aiming has become an important problem. The self-collimation is often measured via one-dimensional motion of the object in space. This paper proposes a micro-angle measurement system based on self-collimation to obtain the two-dimensional angle information of moving objects in space, and a thrice reflecting optical path structure is built to improve the compactness of the system. First, by establishing a posture angle measurement and decomposition model, the two-dimensional deflection angle value of the reflecting mirror is derived from the rotation angle equation;Second, the self-collimating measurement process is simulated to show the relationship between the reflecting mirror rotation angle and the imaging spot distortion of detector;Third, a two-dimensional micro-angle experimental platform is established based on the Position Sensitive Detector(PSD). Finally, nonlinear error of PSD is improved by the cubic spline interpolation method. The case results show a 15% reduction in the angle error.
