Filter-free miniaturized polarization-sensitive photodetectors based on anisotropic absorption in natural or artificial birefringent materials have important applications in the next-generation on-chip polarimeters. However, their polarization sensitivity, which is a key parameter based on polarization ratio (PR) and responsivity, is thus far limited by the intrinsic low diattenuation and inefficient photon-to-electron conversion. To tackle these challenges, we implement experimentally a miniaturized detector based on one-dimensional (1D) tellurium nanoribbon, which can significantly improve the photothermoelectric responses by translating the polarization-sensitive absorption into a large temperature gradient and combining the finite-size effect of perfect plasmonic absorber. Our devices work at room-temperature with a zero-bias responsivity of 410 V/W and an infinite polarization ratio (PR=∞). A peak polarization angle sensitivity of 7.10 V/W•degree, which is one order of magnitude higher than those reported in the literature, is observed in the long-wave infrared region (λ = 8.0 µm). The proposed device can simultaneously achieve full linear polarimetry detection of the power intensity, polarization angle, and linear polarization degree, with its simple geometrical configuration. To demonstrate its potentials in practical applications, we apply our polarization-sensitive photodetector to polarization-coded communication and optical strain measurement. Our work offers a feasible solution to develop miniaturized room-temperature photodetectors with ultrahigh polarization sensitivity at the long-wave infrared. The approach proposed here can be easily extended to other frequencies by simply adjusting the resonance wavelength of the plasmonic metamaterials.
