研究目的
Investigating the potential of high-quality graphene as a high-speed bolometric material for mid-infrared photodetection at room temperature.
研究成果
The hBN-encapsulated graphene bolometer demonstrates a broad operational wavelength range and high detection speed at room temperature, attributed to its high-quality graphene with significant temperature coefficient of resistance. This work lays the foundation for future graphene-based mid-infrared technologies.
研究不足
The study is limited by the current device fabrication techniques and the understanding of electron-phonon interactions in graphene. The noise equivalent power (NEP) is higher compared to state-of-the-art microbolometers, indicating room for improvement in sensitivity.
