Abstract

Highly sensitive polymer photodetectors exhibiting broad spectral responses, ranging from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared (NIR) region, are obtained after incorporating an organic NIR dye into the device active layer. As a result, high external quantum efficiencies (>7000%) and high responsivities (32.4 A/W) are achieved at an extremely low operating voltage (−1.5 V). The high photomultiplation could be attribute to trapping of electrons, originating from the photogenerated electron/hole pairs, at the dye molecules, which effectively facilitates hole injection from the external circuit. The device preparation scheme presented herein opens up the possibility fabricating lost-cost, flexible organic photodetectors.
