文摘Active control of the electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT)analog is desirable in photonics development.Here,we theoretically and experimentally proposed a novel terahertz(THz)asymmetric metasurface structure that can possess high-sensitivity modulation under extremely low power density by integrating perovskite or graphene.Using the novel metasurface structure with the perovskite coating,the maximum amplitude modulation depth(AMD)of this perovskite-based device reached 490.53%at a low power density of 12.8037 mW/cm^(2).In addition,after the novel THz metasurface structure was combined with graphene,this graphene-based device also achieved high AMD with the maximum AMD being 180.56%at 16.312 mW/cm^(2),and its transmission amplitude could be electrically driven at a low bias voltage.The physical origin of this modulation was explained using a two-oscillator EIT model.This work provides a promising platform for developing high-sensitivity THz sensors,light modulators,and switches.

文摘Superconducting nanowires enable the operation of outstanding single-photon detectors,which are required particularly for quantum information and weak-light measurement applications.However,the trade-off between detection speed and efficiency,which is related to the filling factors of superconducting nanowires,is still a challenge.Here,we propose a fast,efficient single-photon detector fabricated by integrating ultralow-filling-factor meandered superconducting nanowires atop a photonic crystal(PhC)resonator.This unique structure enables a fast photon response due to the low kinetic inductance of the short nanowires and ensures efficient photon absorption due to the resonant effect of the PhC structure.The proposed detector has a filling factor of only~12% while maintaining a high maximum absorption in our simulation of 90%.The fabricated device exhibits a maximum system detection efficiency of 60%,a maximum count rate of~80 MHz,and a recovery time of only~12 ns,which is three times faster than that of the conventional meandered structure at the same sensing diameter(18μm).This work helps advance the movement toward high-efficiency,high-speed single-photon detectors and promotes their future application in quantum communication and imaging.

文摘The micro-electromechanical system(MEMS)infrared thermopile is the core working device of modern information detection systems such as spectrometers,gas sensors,and remote temperature sensors.We presented two different structures of MEMS infrared thermopiles based on suspended film structures.They both deposited silicon nitride over the entire surface as a passivated absorber layer in place of a separate absorber zone,and the thermocouple strip was oriented in the same direction as the temperature gradient.The same MEMS preparation process was used and finally two different structures of the thermopile were characterized separately for testing to verify the impact of our design on the detector.The test results show that the circular and double-ended symmetrical thermopile detectors have responsivities of 27.932 V/W and 23.205 V/W,specific detectivities of 12.1×10^(7) cm·Hz^(1/2)·W^(-1) and 10.1×10^(7) cm·Hz^(1/2)·W^(-1),and response time of 26.2 ms and 27.06 ms,respectively.In addition,rectangular double-ended symmetric thermopile has a larger field of view than a circular thermopile detector,but is not as mechanically stable as a circular thermopile.

文摘This paper presents a surface acoustic wave(SAW)sensor based on coplanar integrated Langasite(LGS)that is fabricated using wet etching,high-temperature bonding,and ion beam etching(IBE)processes.The miniaturized multiparameter temperature‒pressure-humidity(TPH)sensor used the MXene@MoS2@Go(MMG)composite to widen the humidity detection range and improve the humidity sensitivity,including a fast response time(3.18 s)and recovery time(0.94 s).The TPH sensor was shown to operate steadily between 25–700°C,0–700 kPa,and 10–98%RH.Coupling issues among multiple parameters in complex environments were addressed by decoupling theΔf-temperature coupling factor to improve the accuracy.Therefore,this work can be applied to simultaneous measurements of several environmental parameters in challenging conditions.
