Deep-ultraviolet and visible dual-band photodetectors by integrating Chlorin e6 with Ga2O3

Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is a promising material for deep-ultraviolet (DUV) detection. In this work, Chlorin e6 (Ce6) has been integrated with Ga2O3 to achieve a DUV and visible dual-band photodetector, which can achieve multiple target information and improve the recognition rate. The photodetector shows two separate response bands at 268 nm and 456 nm. The DUV response band has a responsivity of 9.63 A/W with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 54.5 nm; the visible response band has a responsivity of 1.17 A/W with an FWHM of 45.3 nm. This work may provide a simple way to design and fabricate photodetectors with dual-band response.

Automated summary

This work introduces a photodetector that integrates Chlorin e6 with gallium oxide, achieving responses in both deep ultraviolet and visible light bands, improving recognition rate.
