该项目旨在设计扭曲的二维材料，并开发高效的室温中红外探测器，可同时检测光的强度和偏振。该项目预计将产生一个具有成本效益，超紧凑，多功能的中红外光学平台，具有高能量转换效率，可用于先进的传感和成像系统。该项目的预期目标是为电子和光子行业提供高附加值的设备，同时降低能耗。这将通过实现技术创新、节省材料和能源成本以及减少先进制造业对环境的影响，带来显著的经济和环境效益。

This project aims to engineer twisted two-dimensional materials and develop efficient room-temperature mid-infrared detectors that sense both the intensity and polarisation of light. This project expects to generate a cost-effective, ultra-compact, and multifunctional mid-infrared optical platform with high energy conversion efficiency towards advanced sensing and imaging systems. The anticipated goal of this project is to deliver high value-added devices with reduced energy consumption for the electronics and photonics industries. This should provide significant economic and environmental benefits by realising technological innovations, savings in materials and energy costs, and reduced environmental impact in advanced manufacturing.
