2D materials-based next-generation multidimensional photodetectors

Abstract

With the rapid advancement of the information age, the demand for multi-dimensional light information detection has significantly increased. Traditional Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers and pooptical power, andlarimeters, due to their bulky structure, are no longer suitable for emerging fields such as medical diagnostics, secure communications, and autonomous driving. As a result, there is a pressing need to develop new miniaturized on-chip devices. The abundant two-dimensional (2D) materials, with their unique light-matter interactions, offer the potential to construct high-dimensional spatial mappings of incident light, paving the way for the development of novel ultra-compact multi-dimensional deep optical sensing technologies. Here, we review the interconnections of multi-dimensional information and their relationship with 2D materials. We then focus on recent advances in the development of novel dimensional detectors based on 2D materials, covering dimensions such as intensity, time, space, polarization, phase angle, and wavelength. Furthermore, we discuss cutting-edge technologies in multi-dimensional fusion detection and highlight future technological prospects, with a particular emphasis on on-chip integration and future development.
