Introduction to Solar Blind

What is/are Solar Blind?

Solar Blind - With the development of the application of sun-blind ultraviolet (UV) detectors, the research of photoelectric detection devices with high-efficiency solar blind detection performance has become a hot spot. ^[1] Novel devices based on orthorhombic κ-Ga2O3 could enable solar blind infrared detection or high-electron mobility transistors with large two-dimensional electron gas densities. ^[2] Solar blind photodetectors with a cutoff wavelength within the 200-280 nm region is attracting much attention due to their potential civilian and military applications. ^[3] Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is rapidly emerging as a material of choice for the development of solar blind photodetectors and power electronic devices which are particularly suitable in harsh environment applications, owing to its wide bandgap and extremely high Baliga figure of merit. ^[4] Heteroepitaxy of β-phase gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) thin films on foreign substrates shows promise for the development of next-generation deep ultraviolet solar blind photodetectors and power electronic devices. ^[5] The overall structure of our solar blind photodetector consists of two sections fabricated from InGaN (Indium Gallium Nitride) hetero-structure- a filter and a double barrier tunneling diode. ^[6] Monoclinic gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) has drawn much attention in solar-blind detection because of its unique characteristics such as good thermal and chemical stability, intrinsic visible/solar blind, high breakdown electric field, etc. ^[7] solar blind UV missile warning. ^[8] The above studies all show that the graded composition AlxGa1-xN NWA cathode can be used as a future candidate core device for vacuum solar blind ultraviolet detectors. ^[9] Here, we successfully synthesized an efficient UVC UC glassy phosphor where UVC light can be detected by UV detector as well as solar blind camera equipped a 240-280 nm band-pass filter when excited by a 450 nm laser. ^[10] This study can provide some theoretical support for the performance improvement of vacuum-type solar blind UV detectors based on the AlxGa1-xN nanowire array photocathode with heterojunction Al composition. ^[11] Such characteristics will be obtained thanks to the development and combination of two key technologies: high efficiency optical components optimized for each channel and high resolution/dynamic range solar blind photon counting detector. ^[12] For our research we used ultraviolet images from the Solar Blind Channel camera equipped with the F115LP and F125LP filters. ^[13] Therefore, PdPS-based photodetector shows impressive wide spectral response from solar blind ultraviolet (SBUV) to near infrared (NIR) based on the multi-channel tranisiton. ^[14] Reliable p-doped hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) could enable wide bandgap optoelectronic devices such as deep ultra-violet light emitting diodes (UV LEDs), solar blind photodiodes and neutron detectors. ^[15] 0 nm (vacuum) the Raman signature stays within the "solar blind" part of the spectrum (< 280 nm) and photon-counting based detection strategy can be used for improved sensitivity. ^[16] Recent advances in semiconductor laser and light emitting diode devices, able to efficiently operate in the solar blind regime, have brought the oblivious ultraviolet C-Band (UV-C) communications to the fore again. ^[17] The UV Camera has a selection of bandpass filters, longpass filters, and two separate detectors to optimize observing in either the FUV or the NUV utilizing a sealed CsI solar blind micro-channel plate and a 4Kx4K CCD respectively. ^[18] In this work, flexible solar blind Ga2O3 ultraviolet photodetectors with high responsivity and photo-to-dark current ratio are demonstrated. ^[19] High spectral Rayleigh Lidar at solar blind wavelength 266 nm is proposed to avoid solar background light of daytime and realize all-time atmosphere temperature profiling measurement. ^[20] The results presented in this paper therefore further clarify that p-type Ga2O3 is possible, although more research must be conducted to determine what are the real prospects for Ga2O3 solar blind bipolar optoelectronics and ultra-high power electronics based on p–n homojunctions. ^[21] Therefore, an IR camera and a solar blind UV camera are sufficient for the detection of most defects in power transmission equipment. ^[22] We report on a high performance Pt/n−Ga2O3/n+Ga2O3 solar blind Schottky photodiode that has been grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. ^[23] The structures produced on insulating substrates are solar blind in the visible wavelength region and sensitive to radiation in the ultraviolet region (222 nm). ^[24] 87 eV were first time utilized for solar blind photo-detection. ^[25] It is crucial to realize high photoresponsivity and a fast response speed to meet the application requirements of solar blind ultraviolet (SBUV) photodetectors (PDs) in wireless communication, fire warning, and other fields. ^[26] Solar blind characteristics can achieve anti-collision in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) formation flying. ^[27] There are six main advantages of excitation below 250 nm compared to near-UV, visible or near-IR counterparts: 1) Solar blind detection enabling standoff operation in full daylight; 2) Fluorescence-free Raman and Raman-free fluorescence enabling enhanced detection and identification of target materials without mutual interference; 3) Resonance Raman signal enhancement for improved Raman sensitivity; 4) Simplification of Raman spectra due to resonance enhancement, 5) Short penetration depth, providing physical separation of surface contaminant materials from substrate; and 6) Eye retina safe. ^[28] The magnesium oxide is one of the promising candidate’s materials that can act as solar blind photodetectors. ^[29] Because the photoresponsivity in the visible wavelength band was very low, the triple-band MSM-UVPDs can work as solar blind UVPDs. ^[30] Moreover, a solar blind response device based on few layer GNS with a high on-off ratio was successfully fabricated. ^[31] As a wide-bandgap semiconductor (WBG), β-Ga2O3 is expected to be applied to power electronics and solar blind UV photodetectors. ^[32] The premise of completing the mission is the precise positioning between the internal machines of the bee colony formation, and the wireless solar blind ultraviolet communication is a stable and secret communication method in the harsh battlefield environment. ^[33] The solar blindness of the electrode enables a record-breaking bulk photovoltaic effect (BPE) with white light illumination (general use indoor light). ^[34] Results are reported from a study of propagation near-ground within the solar blind ultraviolet wavelength range, including measurements of ultraviolet transmission along a horizontal path. ^[35] 35 eV, which is in the solar blind region and is also the maximum of ZnO-based solution processed nano-alloys to date. ^[36] Moreover, solar blind ultraviolet radiation can be reached using the title crystal via a fourth-harmonic-generation technique of a Nd-based laser, i. ^[37] These unique properties make beta-Ga2O3 a promising candidate for high power electronic device and solar blind photodetector applications. ^[38] In this work a solar blind photomultiplier with microchannel plates that uses a UVC-range AlGaN photocathode is described. ^[39] Here, we have developed high performance and completely flexible solar blind photodetector using room temperature grown amorphous Ga2O3 thin film and unconventional amorphous indium-zinc-oxide (a-IZO) transparent conducting electrodes. ^[40]
