The invention discloses a direct photoelectric
detector of optical orbital
angular momentum and a detection method thereof. According to the invention, a direct photoelectric
detector and a focal plane detection array of optical orbital
angular momentum are designed based on a first detection
electrode and a second detection
electrode which are concentric and partially ring-shaped, and multi-layer
graphene is adopted as a detection material; as a zero-band-gap material, the multi-layer
graphene is wide in detection spectrum range; meanwhile, bias
voltage does not need to be applied to detection, and sensitive
responsivity is achieved at the
room temperature; compared with
tantalum-
iridium-
tellurium, the multilayer
graphene has higher
photocurrent responsivity and
signal-to-
noise ratio, so that better optical orbital
angular momentum resolution capability is brought; the focal plane detection array of the direct photoelectric
detector based on the multi-layer graphene optical orbital angular
momentum can realize target tracking and identification, and has a wide application scene in the aspect of military equipment; the invention can be used in the fields of
infrared imaging, military reconnaissance,
night vision goggles and the like, and can also realize focal plane imaging.
