"Researcher discovers new technique for photon detection" (2023) https://phys.org/news/2023-12-technique-photon.html https://phys.org/news/2023-12-technique-photon.html : > "Our FM-based approach yields an outstanding room temperature noise equivalent power, response time and detectivity," Chanda says. "This general FM-based photon detection concept can be implemented in any spectral range based on other phase-change materials." > "Our results introduce this novel FM-based detector as a unique platform for creating low-cost, high-efficiency uncooled infrared detectors and imaging systems for various applications such as remote sensing, thermal imaging and medical diagnostics," Chanda says. "We strongly believe that the performance can be further enhanced with proper industry-scale packaging."
