The Technology
Multispectral photo-detection and imaging systems, that collect data at different spectral bands, are of major significance in spectroscopy, sensing, food identification, optical communication, environmental monitoring, defense and security. Today, solid-state quantum detectors rely on a range of materials and/or technologies while each of them optimized for a precise spectral range.
This technology offers a novel graphene-Si hybrid platform for multi-spectral (Vis-to-IR) photodetection at room temperature towards multi-spectral imaging arrays monolithically integrated with CMOS read-out circuitry.
