Integrating Full-Color 2D Optical Waveguide and Heterojunction Engineering in Halide Microsheets for Multichannel...

Ensuring information security has emerged as a paramount concern in contemporary human society. Substantial advancements in this regard can be achieved by leveraging photonic signals as the primary information carriers, utilizing photonic logical gates capable of wavelength tunability across various time and spatial domains. However, the challenge remains in the rational design of materials possessing space-time-color multiple-resolution capabilities. In this work, a facile approach is proposed for crafting metal-organic halides (MOHs) that offer space-time-color resolution. These MOHs integrate time-resolved room temperature phosphorescence and color-resolved excitation wavelength dependencies with both space-resolved ex situ optical waveguides and in situ heterojunctions. Capitalizing on these multifaceted properties, MOHs-based two-dimensional (2D) optical waveguides and heterojunctions exhibit the ability to tune full-color emissions across the spectra from blue to red, operating within different spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, this work introduces an effective methodology for engineering space-time-color resolved MOH microstructures, holding significant promise for the development of high-density photonic logical devices.
