Figure 3. Working mechanism of self-powered ZPH PDs.

Figure 3

(a) I–t characteristics of the self-powered ZPH PDs under 325 nm (top) and 442 nm (bottom) laser illuminations through an optical chopper with a time ratio of 1:1 at 100 Hz. (b) Enlarged plot of a single output period as shown in a for both 325- and 442-nm illuminations, divided into four stages, labelled as ‘I', ‘II', ‘III' and ‘IV'. (c) Schematic illustration of the working mechanism of pyroelectric effect-combined photoexcitation processes, corresponding to the four stages labelled in b.
