Traditional polarization-sensitive photodetectors have limitations due to complex fabrication processes, but a solution-processed polycrystalline film can achieve high resolution and speed for sensing polarized photons in the range of 300 to 1050 nm.
Photodetectors selective to the polarization empower breakthroughs in sensing technology for target identification. However, the realization of polarization-sensitive photodetectors based on intrinsically anisotropic crystal structure or extrinsically anisotropic device pattern requires complicated epitaxy and etching processes, which limit scalable production and application. Here, solution-processed PEA(2)MA(4)(Sn0.5Pb0.5)(5)I-16 (PEA= phenylethylammonium, MA= methylammonium) polycrystalline film is probed as photoactive layer toward sensing polarized photon from 300 to 1050 nm. The growth of the PEA(2)MA(4)(Sn0.5Pb0.5)(5)I-16 crystal occurs in confined crystallographic orientation of the (202) facet upon the assistance of NH4SCN and NH4Cl, enhancing anisotropic photoelectric properties. Therefore, the photodetector achieves a polarization ratio of 0.41 and dichroism ratio (I-max/I-min) of 2.4 at 900 nm. At 520 nm, the I-max/I-min even surpasses the one of the perovskite crystalline films, 1.8 and approximate to 1.2, respectively. It is worth noting that the superior figure-of-merits possess a response width of 900 kHz, I-on/I-off ratio of approximate to 3 x 10(8), linear dynamic range from 0.15 nW to 12 mW, noise current of 8.28 x 10(-13) A x Hz(-0.5), and specific detectivity of 1.53 x 10(12) Jones, which demonstrate high resolution and high speed for weak signal sensing and imaging. The proof of concept in polarized imaging confirms that the polarization-sensitive photodetector meets the requirements for practical application in target recognition.
