Abstract
Polarization plays a paramount role in scaling the optical network capacity. Anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) materials offer opportunities to exploit optical polarization-sensitive responses in various photonic and optoelectronic applications. However, the exploration of optical anisotropy in fiber in-line devices, critical for ultrafast pulse generation and modulation, remains limited. In this study, we present a fiber-integrated device based on a single-crystalline tellurene nanosheet. Benefiting from the chiral-chain crystal lattice and distinct optical dichroism of tellurene, multifunctional optical devices possessing diverse excellent properties can be achieved. By inserting the in-line device into a 1.5 μm fiber laser cavity, we generated both linearly polarized and dual-wavelength mode-locking pulses with a degree of polarization of 98% and exceptional long-term stability. Through a twisted configuration of two tellurene nanosheets, we realized an all-optical switching operation with a fast response. The multifunctional device also serves as a broadband photodetector. Notably, bipolar polarization encoding communication at 1550 nm can be achieved without any external voltage. The device's multifunctionality and stability in ambient environments established a promising prototype for integrating polarization as an additional physical dimension in fiber optical networks, encompassing diverse applications in light generation, modulation, and detection.

Abstract
Fiber optic communication is becoming the central pillar of modern high-speed communication technology, which involves the abundant fiber components. Currently, most of photodetectors are fabricated on the silicon chip, so mass fiber-to-chip interfaces increase the complexity of advanced optoelectronic system, and also grow the risk of optical information loss. Here, we report an all-fiber organic phototransistor by employing rubrene single crystal and few-layer graphene to realize the "plug-to-play" operation. The device shows a broadband photoresponse from the ultraviolet to visible range, with fast response times of approximately 130/170 µs and reasonable specific detectivity of 6 × 109 Jones, which is close to the level of commercial on-chip device. Finally, several imaging applications are successfully demonstrated by deploying this all-fiber device. Our work provided an efficient strategy for fabricating all-fiber organic devices, and confirmed their significant potential in future optical fiber optoelectronics.

Abstract
Artificially engineered 2D materials offer unique physical properties for thermal management, surpassing naturally occurring materials. Here, using van der Waals epitaxy, we demonstrate the ability to engineer extremely insulating thermal metamaterials based on atomically thin lattice-mismatched Bi2Se3/MoSe2 superlattices and graphene/PdSe2 heterostructures with exceptional thermal resistances (70-202 m2 K/GW) and ultralow cross-plane thermal conductivities (0.012-0.07 W/mK) at room temperature, comparable to those of amorphous materials. Experimental data obtained using frequency-domain thermoreflectance and low-frequency Raman spectroscopy, supported by tight-binding phonon calculations, reveal the impact of lattice mismatch, phonon-interface scattering, size effects, temperature, and interface thermal resistance on cross-plane heat dissipation, uncovering different thermal transport regimes and the dominant role of long-wavelength phonons. Our findings provide essential insights into emerging synthesis and thermal characterization methods and valuable guidance for the development of large-area heteroepitaxial van der Waals films of dissimilar materials with tailored thermal transport characteristics.

Recent Progress on Graphene Flexible Photodetectors. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15144820. [PMID: 35888288 PMCID: PMC9318373 DOI: 10.3390/ma15144820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, optoelectronics and related industries have developed rapidly. As typical optoelectronics devices, photodetectors (PDs) are widely applied in various fields. The functional materials in traditional PDs exhibit high hardness, and the performance of these rigid detectors is thus greatly reduced upon their stretching or bending. Therefore, the development of new flexible PDs with bendable and foldable functions is of great significance and has much interest in wearable, implantable optoelectronic devices. Graphene with excellent electrical and optical performance constructed on various flexible and rigid substrates has great potential in PDs. In this review, recent research progress on graphene-based flexible PDs is outlined. The research states of graphene conductive films are summarized, focusing on PDs based on single-component graphene and mixed-structure graphene, with a systematic analysis of their optical and mechanical performance, and the techniques for optimizing the PDs are also discussed. Finally, a summary of the current applications of graphene flexible PDs and perspectives is provided, and the remaining challenges are discussed.

Abstract
In the present study, a heterojunction made of an individual ZnO microwire via Ga incorporation (ZnO:Ga MW) with a p-Si substrate was constructed to develop a self-powered ultraviolet photodetector. When operated under an illumination of 370 nm light with a power density of ∼ 0.5 mW/cm2, the device exhibited an excellent responsivity of 0.185 A/W, a large detectivity of 1.75×1012 Jones, and excellent stability and repeatability. The device also exhibited a high on/off photocurrent ratio up to 103, and a short rising and falling time of 499/412 μs. By integrating the pyro-phototronic effect, the maximum responsivity and detectivity increased significantly to 0.25 A/W and 2.30×1012 Jones, respectively. The response/recovery time was drastically reduced to 79/132 μs without an external power source. In addition, the effects of light wavelength, power density, and bias voltage on the photocurrent response mediated by the pyro-phototronic effect were systematically characterized and discussed. Our work not only provides an easy yet efficient procedure for constructing a self-powered ultraviolet photodetector but also broadens the application prospects for developing individual wire optoelectronic devices based on the photovoltaic-pyro-phototronic effect.
