A team of experts from academia and industry has joined forces to provide a unified framework for characterising, reporting, and benchmarking new light-sensing technologies.
Their aim is to accelerate innovative applications across healthcare, smart homes, agriculture, and manufacturing, with photodetectors being at the heart of countless smart devices and representing a global market valued at over $30 billion.
Guidelines for accurate evaluation of photodetectors based on emerging semiconductor technologies
Vincenzo Pecunia, head of the Sustainable Optoelectronics Research Group, has led the initiative culminating in the publication of the paper in Nature Photonics.
