- Abstract
Traditional optical communication systems rely on single narrow-band PDs, which can expose confidential information and data to potential eavesdropping in free space. With advancements in technology, even optical communication in the UV spectrum, invisible to the sun, faces risks of interception. Consequently, broad-band PDs that combine optical encryption with algorithmic encryption hold significant promise for secure and reliable communication. This study presents a photodetector based on TiO2–α-Ga2O3 heterostructures, prepared via direct oxidation and hydrothermal reaction, demonstrating self-powered UVC/UVA broad-band detection capabilities. The PD exhibits response peaks at approximately 250 and 320 nm, with R of 42.16 and 59.88 mA/W and D* of 8.21 × 1013 and 9.56 × 1013 Jones, respectively. Leveraging the superior optical response characteristics of UVC and UVA wavelengths, this device has been employed to develop a communication system designed for data transmission. The proposed system features two independent channels: one for data transmission using UVC and another for key distribution using UVA. Secure communication is ensured through specialized encryption algorithms. In summary, this work offers a straightforward, cost-effective, and practical method for fabricating self-powered UVC/UVA broad-band PDs. This PD provides new insights into the development of multi-purpose, multi-band secure optical communication devices and holds promise for integration into multifunctional optoelectronic systems in the future.
