    查看更多>>摘要:Quantum sensing has emerged as a powerful technique to detect and measure physical and chemical parameters with exceptional precision.One of the methods is to use optically active spin defects within solid-state materials.These defects act as sensors and have made significant progress in recent years,particularly in the realm of two-dimensional(2D)spin defects.In this article,we focus on the latest trends in quantum sensing that use spin defects in van der Waals(vdW)materials.We discuss the benefits of combining optically addressable spin defects with 2D vdW materials while highlighting the challenges and opportunities to use these defects.To make quantum sensing practical and applicable,the article identifies some areas worth further exploration.These include identifying spin defects with properties suitable for quantum sensing,generating quantum defects on demand with control of their spatial localization,understanding the impact of layer thickness and interface on quantum sensing,and integrating spin defects with photonic structures for new functionalities and higher emission rates.The article explores the potential applications of quantum sensing in several fields,such as superconductivity,ferromagnetism,2D nanoelectronics,and biology.For instance,combining nanoscale microfluidic technology with nanopore and quantum sensing may lead to a new platform for DNA sequencing.As materials technology continues to evolve,and with the advancement of defect engineering techniques,2D spin defects are expected to play a vital role in quantum sensing.

    查看更多>>摘要:Miniaturized on-chip spectrometers with small footprints,lightweight,and low cost are in great demand for portable optical sensing,lab-on-chip systems,and so on.Such miniaturized spectrometers are usually based on engineered spectral response units and then reconstruct unknown spectra with algorithms.However,due to the limited footprints of computational on-chip spectrometers,the recovered spectral resolution is limited by the number of integrated spectral response units/filters.Thus,it is challenging to improve the spectral resolution without increasing the number of used filters.Here we present a computational on-chip spectrometer using electrochromic filter-based computational spectral units that can be electrochemically modulated to increase the efficient sampling number for higher spectral resolution.These filters are directly integrated on top of the photodetector pixels,and the spectral modulation of the filters results from redox reactions during the dual injection of ions and electrons into the electrochromic material.We experimentally demonstrate that the spectral resolution of the proposed spectrometer can be effectively improved as the number of applied voltages increases.The average difference of the peak wavelengths between the reconstructed and the reference spectra decreases from 1.61 nm to 0.29 nm.We also demonstrate the proposed spectrometer can be worked with only four or two filter units,assisted by electrochromic modulation.In addition,we also demonstrate that the electrochromic filter can be easily adapted for hyperspectral imaging,due to its uniform transparency.This strategy suggests a new way to enhance the performance of miniaturized spectrometers with tunable spectral filters for high resolution,low-cost,and portable spectral sensing,and would also inspire the exploration of other stimulus responses such as photochromic and force-chromic,etc,on computational spectrometers.

    查看更多>>摘要:Indoor photovoltaics(IPVs)have attracted increasing attention for sustainably powering Internet of Things(IoT)electronics.Sb2S3 is a promising IPV candidate material with a bandgap of~1.75 eV,which is near the optimal value for indoor energy harvesting.However,the performance of Sb2S3 solar cells is limited by nonradiative recombination,which is dependent on the quality of the absorber films.Additive engineering is an effective strategy to fine tune the properties of solution-processed films.This work shows that the addition of monoethanolamine(MEA)into the precursor solution allows the nucleation and growth of Sb2S3 films to be controlled,enabling the deposition of high-quality Sb2S3 absorbers with reduced grain boundary density,optimized band positions,and increased carrier concentration.Complemented with computations,it is revealed that the incorporation of MEA leads to a more efficient and energetically favorable deposition for enhanced heterogeneous nucleation on the substrate,which increases the grain size and accelerates the deposition rate of Sb2S3 films.Due to suppressed carrier recombination and improved charge-carrier transport in Sb2S3 absorber films,the MEA-modulated Sb2S3 solar cell yields a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 7.22%under AM1.5 G illumination,and an IPV PCE of 17.55%under 1000 lux white light emitting diode(WLED)illumination,which is the highest yet reported for Sb2S3 IPVs.Furthermore,we construct high performance large-area Sb2S3 IPV minimodules to power IoT wireless sensors,and realize the long-term continuous recording of environmental parameters under WLED illumination in an office.This work highlights the great prospect of Sb2S3 photovoltaics for indoor energy harvesting.

    查看更多>>摘要:Rapid advancements in deep learning over the past decade have fueled an insatiable demand for efficient and scalable hardware.Photonics offers a promising solution by leveraging the unique properties of light.However,conventional neural network architectures,which typically require dense programmable connections,pose several practical challenges for photonic realizations.To overcome these limitations,we propose and experimentally demonstrate Photonic Neural Cellular Automata(PNCA)for photonic deep learning with sparse connectivity.PNCA harnesses the speed and interconnectivity of photonics,as well as the self-organizing nature of cellular automata through local interactions to achieve robust,reliable,and efficient processing.We utilize linear light interference and parametric nonlinear optics for all-optical computations in a time-multiplexed photonic network to experimentally perform self-organized image classification.We demonstrate binary(two-class)classification of images using as few as 3 programmable photonic parameters,achieving high experimental accuracy with the ability to also recognize out-of-distribution data.The proposed PNCA approach can be adapted to a wide range of existing photonic hardware and provides a compelling alternative to conventional photonic neural networks by maximizing the advantages of light-based computing whilst mitigating their practical challenges.Our results showcase the potential of PNCA in advancing photonic deep learning and highlights a path for next-generation photonic computers.

    查看更多>>摘要:Owing to high pixel density and brightness,gallium nitride(GaN)based micro-light-emitting diodes(Micro-LEDs)are considered revolutionary display technology and have important application prospects in the fields of micro-display and virtual display.However,Micro-LEDs with pixel sizes smaller than 10 μm still encounter technical challenges such as sidewall damage and limited light extraction efficiency,resulting in reduced luminous efficiency and severe brightness non-uniformity.Here,we reported high-brightness green Micro-displays with a 5 μm pixel utilizing high-quality GaN-on-Si epilayers.Four-inch wafer-scale uniform green GaN epilayer is first grown on silicon substrate,which possesses a low dislocation density of 5.25 × 108 cm-2,small wafer bowing of 16.7 μm,and high wavelength uniformity(standard deviation STDEV<1 nm),scalable to 6-inch sizes.Based on the high-quality GaN epilayers,green Micro-LEDs with 5 μm pixel sizes are designed with vertical non-alignment bonding technology.An atomic sidewall passivation method combined with wet treatment successfully addressed the Micro-LED sidewall damages and steadily produced nano-scale surface textures on the pixel top,which unlocked the internal quantum efficiency of the high-quality green GaN-on-Si epi-wafer.Ultra-high brightness exceeding 107cd/m2(nits)is thus achieved in the green Micro-LEDs,marking the highest reported results.Furthermore,integration of Micro-LEDs with Si-based CMOS circuits enables the realization of green Micro-LED displays with resolution up to 1080 × 780,realizing high-definition playback of movies and images.This work lays the foundation for the mass production of high-brightness Micro-LED displays on large-size GaN-on-Si epi-wafers.

    查看更多>>摘要:The ultimate aim of fluorescence microscopy is to achieve high-resolution imaging of increasingly larger biological samples.Extended depth of field presents a potential solution to accelerate imaging of large samples when compression of information along the optical axis is not detrimental to the interpretation of images.We have implemented an extended depth of field(EDF)approach in a random illumination microscope(RIM).RIM uses multiple speckled illuminations and variance data processing to double the resolution.It is particularly adapted to the imaging of thick samples as it does not require the knowledge of illumination patterns.We demonstrate highly-resolved projective images of biological tissues and cells.Compared to a sequential scan of the imaged volume with conventional 2D-RIM,EDF-RIM allows an order of magnitude improvement in speed and light dose reduction,with comparable resolution.As the axial information is lost in an EDF modality,we propose a method to retrieve the sample topography for samples that are organized in cell sheets.

    查看更多>>摘要:Materials capable of dynamic persistent luminescence(PersL)within the visible spectrum are highly sought after for applications in display,biosensing,and information security.However,PersL materials with eye-detectable and excitation-wavelength-dependent characteristics are rarely achieved.Herein,a nonstoichiometric compound CaGaxO4∶Bi(x<2)is present,which demonstrates ultra-long,color-tunable PersL.The persistent emission wavelength can be tuned by varying the excitation wavelength,enabling dynamic color modulation from the green to the orange region within the visible spectrum.Theoretical calculations,in conjunction with experimental observations,are utilized to elucidate the thermodynamic charge transitions of various defect states,thereby providing insights into the relationship between Bi3+emitters,traps,and multicolored PersL.Furthermore,the utility of color-tunable PersL materials and flexible devices is showcased for use in visual sensing of invisible ultraviolet light,multicolor display,information encryption,and anti-counterfeiting.These discoveries create new opportunities to develop smart photoelectric materials with dynamically controlled PersL for various applications.
