Abstract
Photodetectors operating within scattering environment can be realized with anisotropic materials. Here, the authors report polarization sensitive photodetectors based on thin tellurium nanosheets with high photoresponsivity of 3.54 × 102 A/W, detectivity of ~3.01 × 109 Jones in the mid-infrared range and an anisotropic ratio of ∼8 for 2.3 μm illumination to ensure polarized imaging.
