Record-breaking photodetector captures light in just 125 picoseconds

Electrical engineers at Duke University have created the fastest pyroelectric photodetector ever demonstrated, a device that detects light by sensing the tiny amount of heat it produces when absorbed. The ultrathin sensor can capture light across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. It operates at room temperature, requires no external power source,…
