The ability to detect and image in the near-infrared (NIR) regions, specifically NIR-I (700-900 nm) and NIR-II (1000-1700 nm), is crucial for medical diagnostics and bioimaging due to their exceptional tissue penetration and absorption characteristics. Organic photodetectors (OPDs) present a promising solution for self-aligned imaging in these regions, due to their tunable optoelectronic properties and flexible fabrication processes. However, achieving high-performance dual-mode narrowband OPDs for NIR-I and NIR-II detection remains a significant challenge due to the inherently broadband nature of most organic semiconductor materials. In this study, we introduce a bias-switchable dual-mode narrowband OPD with a back-to-back stacked charge collection narrowing/photodiode-type double bulk heterojunction (BHJ) architecture. The dual-mode narrowband OPD exhibits excellent wavelength selectivity and enhanced imaging capabilities, facilitating self-aligned imaging in both NIR-I and NIR-II regions. Additionally, the double BHJ architecture provides design flexibility, allowing for the realization of dual-mode narrowband responses through various BHJ configurations.
能够在近红外(NIR)区域,特别是近红外-I(700 - 900纳米)和近红外-II(1000 - 1700纳米)区域进行检测和成像,由于其卓越的组织穿透和吸收特性,对于医学诊断和生物成像至关重要。有机光电探测器(OPD)因其可调谐的光电特性和灵活的制造工艺,为这些区域的自对准成像提供了一个有前景的解决方案。然而,由于大多数有机半导体材料固有的宽带性质,实现用于近红外-I和近红外-II检测的高性能双模窄带OPD仍然是一个重大挑战。在本研究中,我们引入了一种具有背对背堆叠电荷收集窄化/光电二极管型双本体异质结(BHJ)结构的偏置可切换双模窄带OPD。该双模窄带OPD表现出优异的波长选择性和增强的成像能力,便于在近红外-I和近红外-II区域进行自对准成像。此外,双BHJ结构提供了设计灵活性,允许通过各种BHJ配置实现双模窄带响应。
