Abstract

We demonstrate a polymer photodetector with spectral response from 300nm to 1450nm by using a narrow-band-gap semiconducting polymer blended with a fullerene derivative. Operating in room temperature, the polymer photodetectors exhibit detectivity greater than 10¹³Jones (1Jones =1cm Hz^1/2/W) from the UV well into the near-infrared out to 1150nm and greater than 10¹²Jones from 1150nm to 1450nm. The linear dynamic range is over 100dB. To our knowledge, there is no inorganic material system (not even Si-Ge alloys) capable of such high performance photodetectivty over such a wide spectral range.
