3. The core advantage of this design lies in exploiting the high deep-UV transmittance of double-polished sapphire substrates, enabling incident photons to completely bypass the UV-absorbing ITO electrodes and eliminate photon loss caused by electrode shadowing effects in traditional front-illumination configurations. Consequently, the device demonstrates exceptional optoelectronic performance: a maximum responsivity of 0.46 A/W corresponding to an external quantum efficiency of 222.4%, an outstanding UV/visible rejection ratio of 1.2×10

1/2, and a peak specific detectivity of 1.39×10
11 Jones, with fast response times of 24 μs (rise) and 1.24 ms (decay). Building on this high-performance detector platform, we further explore its multifunctional application potential by constructing a polarization detection system that utilizes the intrinsic lattice anisotropy of monoclinic β-Ga
