Versatile on-chip polarization-sensitive detection system for optical communication and artificial vision by Zhilin Liu, Mingxiu Liu, Liujian Qi, Nan Zhang, Bin Wang, Xiaojuan Sun, Rongjun Zhang, Dabing Li, Shaojuan Li

“…Although on-chip polarized photodetectors have been realized in recent years based on two-dimensional (2D) materials with low-symmetry crystal structures, they are limited by the intrinsic anisotropic property and thus the optional range of materials, the operation wavelength, and more importantly, the low anisotropic ratio, hindering their practical applications. In this work, we construct a versatile platform that transcends the constraints of material anisotropy, by integrating WSe2-based photodetector with MoS2-based field-effect transistor, delivering high-performance broadband polarization detection capability with orders of magnitude improvement in anisotropic ratio and on/off ratio. …”
