Mid-infrared photodetection with 2D metal halide perovskites at ambient temperature.

ABSTRACT: The detection of mid-infrared (MIR) light is technologically important for applications such as night vision, imaging, sensing, and thermal metrology. Traditional MIR photodetectors either require cryogenic cooling or have sophisticated device structures involving complex nanofabrication. Here, we conceive spectrally tunable MIR detection by using two-dimensional metal halide perovskites (2D-MHPs) as the critical building block. Leveraging the ultralow cross-plane thermal conductivity and strong temperature-dependent excitonic resonances of 2D-MHPs, we demonstrate ambient-temperature, all-optical detection of MIR light with sensitivity down to 1 nanowatt per square micrometer, using plastic substrates. Through the adoption of membrane-based structures and a photonic enhancement strategy un
