Advances in integrated polarization detectors with innovative features
The polarization properties of light are widely applied in imaging, communications, materials analysis, and life sciences. Various methods have been developed that can measure the polarization information of a target. However, conventional polarization detection systems are often bulky and complex, limiting their potential for broader applications. To address the challenges of miniaturization, integrated polarization detectors have been extensively explored in recent years, achieving significant advancements in performance and functionality. In this review, we focus mainly on integrated polarization detectors with innovative features, including infinitely high polarization discrimination, ultrahigh sensitivity to polarization state change, full Stokes parameters measurement, and simultaneous perception of polarization and other key properties of light. Lastly, we discuss the opportunities and challenges for the future development of integrated polarization photodetectors.
Introduction
|
Light is a type of transverse electromagnetic wave, and polarization is one of its most fundamental properties, which has been widely and deeply applied in many fields, such as imaging[
Traditional polarization detectors are divided into two categories: ‘division of time’ and ‘division of amplitude’ [
To address the challenges outlined above, researchers have proposed various new theories, methods, and structures, leading to integrated polarization detectors with innovative features and high performance. This review focuses on these innovative advancements, systematically presenting cutting-edge developments in integrated polarization detectors. Topics include integrated polarization detectors with ∞/-∞ PERs, those with ultra-high sensitivity to polarization state changes, those capable of one-shot full Stokes parameter measurement, and those capable of simultaneously sensing polarization along with other key optical properties. The reasons and solutions for these challenges are summarized in
1 Polarimeter with infinite PER
Conventional polarization detection systems, typically equipped with high-quality polarization optical elements, can achieve linear PERs (LPERs)higher than 104. In contrast, the LPERs of integrated polarization detectors are 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower than that of a polarization detection system consisting of discrete polarization optics and a detector[
To achieve ∞/-∞ PER, the critical factor is to ensure that the residual photoresponse becomes zero. This task is very difficult to achieve by relying solely on the light field manipulation provided by the integrated polarization discriminative structure. The light diffraction, scattering, and near-field absorption at an integrated polarization detector would inevitably generate residual photoresponse. Recent studies reveal that light field-electric field joint manipulation becomes a promising route to achieve this task.
Integration of artificial optical nanoantennas on photosensitive materials is a common method to endow or change their polarization-sensitive properties[
In 2021, Wei et al.[

In 2022, Dai et al.[
In 2024, Dai et al.[
In addition to integrated linear polarization detectors with ∞/-∞ LPERs, integrated linear polarization detectors with ∞/-∞ CPERs have also been invented. In 2023, Bu et al. [
After inventing these (∞/-∞)-PER detectors, people realize that the PER is no longer an effective indicator to characterize the polarization discrimination performance of polarization detectors. In this context, Bu et al. define a new PER by taking into account the noise of the detector when the residual photoresponse become zero. As shown in the following equation, the new PER is defined as the ratio of the photoresponse of the detector when illuminated by light in the primary detection polarization state to the noise of the detector when illuminated by light in the polarization state orthogonal to the primary detection polarization state.
where PDPS is the acronym of “primary detection polarization state”, and ⊥PDPS denotes the polarization state orthogonal to the primary detection polarization state. Since the detector in the optoelectronic silent state has a significantly suppressed noise, the PERnew still exceeds the PERs of conventional integrated polarization detectors by more than 4 orders of magnitude (
Heterojunctions with special band structures are also an effective way to achieve ∞/-∞ PERs. In 2024, Li et al.[

In the same year, Wang et al.[
Combining ferroelectric materials with 2D vdW materials can significantly enhance the performance of polarization detectors[
2 Ultrahigh sensitivity to polarization state changes
Noise-equivalent polarization angle difference (NEΔχ, unit: degree·Hz-1/2)is a parameter used to assess the sensitivity of a polarization detector to changes in the polarization state of the incident light. It is related to noise (Inoise, unit: A Hz-1/2)and polarization-angle sensitivity (PAS, unit: A degree-1). The calculation formula is:
NEΔχ refers to the minimum fluctuation in the photoresponse caused by changes in the incident light's polarization state that the polarization detector can resolve. The lower the value, the stronger the capability of the device to sense changes in the polarization state[
For ordinary polarization photodetectors, due to their extinction ratio is not high enough to achieve complete shielding of the photocurrent, there is always a current flowing in the device. As a result, the device is often accompanied by substantial noise, such as 1/f noise, shot noise, thermal noise, etc[
In 2020, Wei et al.[

Ordinary circularly polarization detectors with integrated chiral nanostructures often fail to avoid the response caused by linear polarized light. To address this issue, in 2022, Wei et al.[
In 2023, Xie et al.[
In addition to the artificial BPVE, polarization-dependent balanced detection can also be achieved using a pair of orthogonal or chiral light-coupling structures[

3 On-chip full-Stokes polarimeter
The demand for real-time full Stokes polarimetric imaging has attracted a lot of research interest. To address this demand, researchers have tried to combine multiple independently polarization detection pixels into a superpixel[
For the fabrication of superpixel detectors, integrating different polarization-sensitive structures in different regions of one detection material is a convenient and common approach. In 2020, Li et al.[

In order to enhance the accuracy of full Stokes parameters detection, a proper formalism describing the polarization-dependent photoresponses of metasurface-integrated photodetectors is required. In 2024, Deng et al.[
Using only anisotropic or chiral materials to form full-Stokes polarimeters is an effective way to further simplify the device structure (
4 Increasing the perceptible information dimensions of the polarimeters
Polarization detectors are primarily used to sense the polarization state of light, often overlooking other fundamental properties of light such as wavelength and phase. Expanding the information dimension that polarization detectors can perceive is an important development direction.

5 Discussion and outlook
Integrated polarization detectors have achieved notable progress, offering significant benefits in applications like improving image contrast and providing additional information about targets. However, their development encounters several challenges. For detectors integrated with photonic structures, the reliance on resonance restricts their operational wavelength range. Similarly, polarization detectors based on heterojunctions face limited material choices and persistent inaccuracies in Stokes parameter reconstruction.
The emergence of polarization detectors with innovative features has addressed several challenges across different fields. In
In the infrared range, a major limitation of reported polarization detectors with PER values of ∞/-∞ or -1 is the lack of characterization using blackbody sources; instead, characterizations are typically conducted with high-performance lasers to assess optoelectronic properties. While lasers allow precise control over light source attributes (such as wavelength, power, spot size, and high-frequency modulation)in a laboratory setting, the resulting performance metrics are primarily suited for applications like spectral measurement, optical communication, or lidar. However, in imaging applications, the main challenge is detecting broad-spectrum, low-energy infrared radiation. The ability to respond to blackbody radiation is a key indicator of an infrared detector’s practical application potential, and thus future research efforts should continue in this direction.
Future advancements in device fabrication could involve novel large-area, narrow-linewidth patterning techniques, such as deep ultraviolet lithography and nanoimprint technology, which could enhance the efficiency of metasurface integration on detectors. On the data processing side, the emergence of more sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms holds promise for improving the efficiency of multi-Stokes parameter reconstruction and high-dimensional optical information processing. These advancements could significantly reduce computation time and improve reconstruction accuracy, paving the way for broader practical applications.

6 Conclusions
With the increasing demand for miniaturization and intelligence, integrated polarization detectors have become the primary focus of future polarization detection technologies. The development of these detectors focuses on two main objectives: enhancing polarization detection performance and incorporating new optical dimensional sensing capabilities. Integrated polarization detectors have achieved extinction ratios as high as infinity, while polarization-dependent balanced detectors enable highly sensitive detection of the changes in the polarization state. These advancements allow for the sensing of additional Stokes parameters and even other dimensions of information from the incident light. Despite significant progress, challenges persist in device design principles and fabrication techniques. Moving forward, the adoption of innovative fabrication methods and materials will further elevate detector performance. Additionally, integrating artificial intelligence algorithms is expected to substantially enhance the efficiency and accuracy of multi-Stokes parameter reconstruction and the interpretation of high-dimensional optical information.
