In this scenario,
each silicon photodetector is like a bucket that collects light, after which the transistors read the information in that bucket to generate each image, says Ted Sargent, InVisage's founder and chief technology officer.
This unique combination of
silicon photodetectors and nanomaterials allowed the Illinois research team to create a point - and - shoot color - polarization camera.

In the study, black phosphorus was also able to act as an efficient and highly - responsive detector of light, extending the wavelength range over which conventional
silicon - based
photodetectors can operate.
Varying in size from just 3.5 to 50 μm, the dimensions of the graphene microstructures developed by UIUC put them right in the middle of a range of electronic devices, including various types of
photodetectors, nano antennas, and other sub-miniature components that were once only the domain of
silicon - based products.
