Abstract:
Near infrared (NIR) photodetectors have been widely used in the fields of military and national economy including aeronautics and astronautics, optical communication, industrial control, NIR imaging and so on. In this paper, we first introduce the development history, working principle and fundamental applications of NIR photodetectors. Compared with NIR pho-todetectors made of other materials, the devices composed of nanomaterials can exhibit excellent performance in terms of higher responsivity, larger detectivity and faster response speed. Then, we present the current development status and related operating principle of the NIR photodetectors for applications in the areas of optical communication, automatic drive, identification and optoelectronic coupler. Finally, an outlook of the future development of NIR photodetectors is delivered. With the development of science and technology, NIR photodetectors will be extensively applied in more practical fields in the future. However, there are still some obstacles for development of the NIR photodetectors such as advanced growth of materials, efficient conversion of photons to electricity and large-scale integration of optoelectronic devices, etc.
