M. Javadi, M. Gholami, H. Torbatiyan, Y. Abdi
In brief

A large-area optical sensor that reports where a light spot lands, made by coating silicon with a conductive polymer in a simple low-temperature process.

Key results
  • Position sensitivity above 100 mV/mm.
  • Nonlinearity below 3% and response correlation above 0.995.
  • Response time under 4 ms for infrared illumination.
