Anatomy of the Eyeball

Anatomy of the Eyeball

The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

To achieve power-free photodetection and efficient image processing.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a R/G/B perovskite narrowband sensor array mimicking cone photoreceptors.
Integration of a neuromorphic algorithm to emulate retinal neural network processing.
Utilizing an asymmetric device configuration for bias-free photocurrent collection.

Main Results:

Demonstrated intrinsic narrowband photodetection using perovskite sensors, eliminating the need for external optical filters.
Achieved power-free photodetection capabilities through an asymmetric device design.
Developed a system capable of high-fidelity panchromatic imaging with intelligent preprocessing.

Conclusions:

The developed perovskite-based narrowband imaging sensor offers a promising alternative to conventional imaging technologies.
The integration of neuromorphic processing enhances imaging efficiency and intelligence.
