Abstract

We demonstrate an organic photodetector showing high detectivity (3.4× 1012Hz0.5cm/W) at a wavelength of 700 nm, based on squaraine/phenyl- C61-butyric-acid-methyl-ester bulk-heterojunction active material. This result is achieved by suppressing the device dark currents while simultaneously preserving its external quantum efficiency, as high as 15% at 700 nm. To this aim, a thin cross-linked film based on poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′ -ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene-vinylene] is exploited to suppress electron injection from the device anode into the organic blend, thus reducing the dark currents by a factor of 30, to the extremely low value of 2 nA/cm2. Also, the detector bandwidth (∼1 MHz) is unaffected by the introduction of a blocking layer. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
