Multispectral and Circular Polarization-Sensitive Carbon Dot-Polydiacetylene Capacitive Photodetector

Nitzan Shauloff et al.

Summary: Multispectral photodetectors (MSPs) and circularly polarized light (CPL) sensors play important roles in opto-electronics, photonics, and imaging. A capacitive photodetector composed of an interdigitated electrode coated with carbon dot/anthraquinone-polydiacetylene provides wavelength selectivity based on the absorbance of carbon dots. Polymerized-anthraquinone photodetector films incorporating carbon dots of different excitation wavelengths produce optical capacitive fingerprints within a broad spectral range. Circular light polarization selectivity is achieved through chiral polymerization of the polydiacetylene framework. This platform exhibits rapid photo-response, high fidelity, and recyclability, while being cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Twisting of Porphyrin by Assembly in a Metal-Organic Framework yielding Chiral Photoconducting Films for Circularly-Polarized-Light Detection

Chun Li et al.

Summary: Researchers have successfully prepared a crystalline film based on porphyrin with chiral properties and demonstrated excellent optoelectronic performance. By assembling in a metal-organic framework film, the porphyrin core becomes twisted and chiral. The close packing and crystalline order of the porphyrin cores in the film result in outstanding optoelectronic properties. Through exciting the Soret band of porphyrin, efficient photoconduction with a high On-Off ratio is achieved. Moreover, handedness-dependent circularly-polarized-light photoconduction is obtained. The combination of assembly-induced chirality with the rich porphyrin chemistry opens up possibilities for organic materials with exceptional chiral and optoelectronic properties.

Absolute asymmetric synthesis driven by circularly polarized Light

Chenlu He et al.

Summary: This article reviews the historical research on circularly polarized light (CPL)-induced absolute asymmetric synthesis, including chiral organic molecules, helical polymers, supramolecular assemblies, and noble metal nanostructures.

Paul Grey et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates a light sensor capable of discriminating right- from left-handed circular polarized light (CPL) by incorporating chiral nematic photonic cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) films with silicon-based thin-film photodiodes.
