Highly Efficient Visible‐Blind Organic Ultraviolet Photodetectors

Abstract

Highly efficient organic UV photodetectors that are not sensitive to visible radiation (“visible-blind”) but to UV-A radiation are fabricated using an organic donor–acceptor couple. High external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) comparable to commercial GaN devices, but covering the entire UV-A range (see Figure), make these devices promising for environmental and biomedical UV-sensing applications.
