Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last few decades, there has been growing interest in utilizing optoelectronics devices for a diverse range of applications. In such devices, the light photons and electrons of the materials are converted to each other through light–matter interactions. Therefore, light–matter interactions provide the opportunity to generate, manipulate, and detect lightwaves for many applications which are used in our daily life. This Special Issue seeks original submissions on all topics in emerging optoelectronics, including device materials, designs, and applications. Topics include but are not limited to optoelectronics devices which are used in sensing, imaging, solar energy harvesting, fiber-optic communication, and so on.

Eye stimulation research plays a critical role in advancing our understanding of visual processing and developing new therapies for visual impairments. Despite its importance, researchers and clinicians still face challenges with the availability of cost-effective, precise, and versatile tools for conducting these studies. Therefore, this study introduces a high-resolution, compact, and budget-friendly multi-wavelength LED light source tailored for precise and versatile eye stimulation, addressing the aforementioned needs in medical research and visual science. Accommodating standard 3 mm or 5 mm package LEDs, the system boasts broad compatibility, while its integration with any microcontroller capable of PWM generation and supporting SPI and UART communication ensures adaptability across diverse applications. Operating at high resolution (18 bits or more) with great linearity, the LED light source offers nuanced control for sophisticated eye stimulation protocols. The simple 3D printable optical design allows the coupling of up to seven different wavelengths while ensuring the cost-effectiveness of the device. The system’s output has been designed to be fiber-coupled with standard SMA connectors to be compatible with most solutions. The proposed implementation significantly undercuts the cost of commercially available solutions, providing a viable, budget-friendly option for advancing eye stimulation research. Full article

The imaging performance of a semiconductor radiation imaging detector critically depends on its photoconductor layer thickness. The conventional detector structure (i.e., a photoconductor layer is sandwiched between two parallel electrodes) needs a strict design criterion on photoconductor thickness as compared to folded detector structure for optimizing the detective quantum efficiency (DQE), which is the most important imaging performance. In this paper, the DQE performance of both folded and conventional detector structures is analyzed by incorporating the quantum noise due to random charge carrier trapping in the photoconductor layer in the cascaded linear system model. An analytical expression for the variance of incomplete charge collection in folded structure is also developed. The optimum values of photoconductor layer thickness and spacing between electrodes for maximizing the DQE under various combinations of exposure, electronic noise and charge carrier transport parameters are investigated. The folded structure provides a design flexibility for achieving DQE higher than 0.7 by adjusting the distance between electrodes without compromising the quantum efficiency while the maximum possible DQE in conventional structure can be even below 0.3 for certain values of material and detector parameters.
