Researchers interpret the dominant mechanism for unexpected charge injection in organic photodetectors The performance of organic photodetectors (OPDs) is degraded by noise. Although charge injection is the major source of dark current in the photodetector, few studies have been conducted to determine the noise origin in OPDs. …
