真空紫外（VUV）光子探测技术是空间科学（监测太阳风暴的形成和演化）、高能物理（暗物质探测）、大型科学装置（VUV自由电子激光器）和电子工业（高分辨率光刻）等领域探索的有效手段。该技术的进步主要取决于VUV光电探测器的性能优化。本文介绍了基于闪烁体、光电倍增管、半导体和气体的典型真空紫外光电探测器的研究进展，总结了它们独特的优势和在不同应用中的最佳性能指标。特别是近年来，由于超宽带隙半导体的进步，低功耗、小尺寸的经济型VUV光电探测器得到了令人鼓舞的发展。最后，我们指出了每种类型的 VUV 探测器仍面临的挑战，旨在最大限度地提高未来各种应用中的性能。
Vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) photon detection technology is an effective means for the exploration in the field of space science (monitoring the formation and evolution of solar storms), high-energy physics (dark matter detection), large-scale scientific facility (VUV free electron lasers) and electronic industry (high-resolution lithography). The advancement of this technology mainly depends on the performance optimization of VUV photodetectors. In this review, we introduced the research progress on the typical VUV photodetectors based on scintillator, photomultiplier tube, semiconductor, and gas, with their unique advantages and optimal performance indicators in different applications summarized. In particular, during recent years, thanks to the advances in ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors, economical VUV photodetectors with low power consumption and small size have been encouragingly developed. Finally, we pointed out the remaining challenges for each type of VUV detector, with the aim of maximizing the performance in a variety of applications in the future.
