摘要

Abstract

Pyroelectric (PE) detection technologies have attracted extensive attention due to the cooling-free

bias-free

and broadband properties. However

the PE signals are generated by the continuous energy conversion processes from light

heat

to electricity

normally leading to very slow response speeds. Herein

we design and fabricate a PE detector which shows extremely fast response in near-infrared (NIR) band by combining with the inhomogeneous plasmonic metasurface. The plasmonic effect dramatically accelerates the light-heat conversion process

unprecedentedly improving the NIR response speed by 2−4 orders of magnitude to 22 μs

faster than any reported infrared (IR) PE detector. We also innovatively introduce the concept of time resolution into the field of PE detection

which represents the detector's ability to distinguish multiple fast-moving targets. Furthermore

the spatially inhomogeneous design overcomes the traditional narrowband constraint of plasmonic systems and thus ensures a wideband response from visible to NIR. This study provides a promising approach to develop next-generation IR PE detectors with ultrafast and broadband responses.
