Polarization-sensitive photodetection has attracted considerable attention as an emerging technology for future optoelectronic applications such as three-dimensional (3D) imaging, quantum optics, and encryption. However, traditional photodetectors based on Si or III−V InGaAs semiconductors cannot directly detect polarized light without additional optical components. Herein, we demonstrate a selfpowered linear-polarization-sensitive near-infrared (NIR) photodetector using a two-dimensional WSe 2 /ReSe 2 van der Waals heterostructure. The WSe 2 /ReSe 2 heterojunction photodiode with semivertical geometry exhibits excellent performance: an ideality factor of 1.67, a broad spectral photoresponse of 405− 980 nm with a significant photovoltaic effect, outstanding linearity with a linear dynamic range wider than 100 dB, and rapid photoswitching behavior with a cutoff frequency up to 100 kHz. Strongly polarized excitonic transitions around the band edge in ReSe 2 lead to significant 980 nm NIR linear-polarization-dependent photocurrent. This linear polarization sensitivity remains stable even after exposure to air for longer than five months. Furthermore, by leveraging the NIR (980 nm)-selective linear polarization detection of this photodiode under photovoltaic operation, we demonstrate digital incoherent holographic 3D imaging.

A functionalized deoxyribonucleic acid (Cz-DNA) was prepared with carbazolyl ammonium lipid as a triplet host material for phosphorescent material system. It is soluble in organic solvents, which facilitates the sample preparation for the absorption and luminescent properties in solid states. A highly soluble iridium complex, Ir(Cz-ppy) 3 with carbazolyl-substituted 2-phenylpyridine ligands was employed for studying the phosphorescence in Cz-DNA. There is a good overlap between the photoluminescence spectrum of Cz-DNA and the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption bands of the iridium complex. This overlap enables efficient energy transfer from the excited state in the host to the MLCT band of Ir(Cz-ppy) 3 . In addition, photoluminescence quantum yield of Cz-DNA was found to be rela-tively larger than the copolymer (PCzSt) with vinylcarbazole and styrene. Thus, Cz-DNA was employed as a triplet host material for fabricating multilayered electrophosphorescence devices via modification of its property by doping 5,4-tert-butylhexyl-1,3,4oxadiazole (PBD). After doping 30 wt % PBD and 10 wt % Ir(Czppy) 3 into Cz-DNA, we achieved much improvement in electron injection/transport from an adjacent carrier transport layer, resulting in much improved device performances.
