Abstract
The ability to detect polarimetric information of light over a broad spectra range is central to practical optoelectronic applications and has been successfully demonstrated with photodetectors of low-symmetry 2D van der Waals materials (vdWMs). However, polarization sensitivity within such a photodetectors remains elusive due to the limited diversity. To address this challenge, an approach is proposed by transforms 2D Lead iodine (PbI<sub>2</sub>) into 1D superlattice microwires (SLMs) through a solution-phase antisolvent diffusion method. This structural shifting enables the creation of low-symmetry crystal characteristics, a well-defined geometric microcavity structure, and an increased bandgap, which collectively confer anisotropic waveguide properties across visible and near-infrared wavelengths. By integrating PbI<sub>2</sub> SLMs with isotropic 2D vdWMs, that waveguide-integrated photodetectors are demonstrated capable of polarization detection, achieving linear dichroism ratio (LDR) values of 1.66 at 405 nm for PbI<sub>2</sub> photodetectors and 1.73 at 785 nm for WSe<sub>2</sub> photodetectors. This paradigm-shifting strategy enables polarimetric information detection using isotropic vdWMs and advances the development of next-generation polarization-resolved optoelectronic devices.
