Description
Summary:Stochastic resonance (SR) is an intriguing phenomenon in which noise, typically considered a detrimental aspect of electronic communication systems, assumes a beneficial role in the detection of undetectable signals. The SR phenomenon for detecting low-intensity optical signals using PBTTT-C14-based organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) is being reported. In this discourse, we explicate the sensing of an undetectable periodic optical signal with a frequency of 5 Hz, using a PBTTT-C14-based OFETs in the presence of a finite and optimal quantity of Gaussian noise (noise bandwidth of 1 Hz and noise amplitude of 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 7.5 V). The detection of higher harmonics for optical signals using the SR phenomenon has not been hitherto explored for OFETs. This report presents a noteworthy finding elucidating the detection of the principal frequency and also higher harmonics of the optical signal. This simplistic methodology for examining the SR phenomenon holds great promise in identifying its robust utility in diverse real-world contexts.
