Metal halide perovskites have aroused worldwide efforts for developing optoelectronic devices due to their unique optical properties and low‐cost simple fabrication process. In recent years, various perovskites‐based miniaturized optical devices have been actively investigated due to their record‐breaking efficiency in different fields, including environmental monitoring, remote sensing, biomedical imaging, and optical communications. In this review, a succinct and critical survey of recently discovered organic–inorganic perovskite photodetectors providing insights into their structural properties and key performance parameters is staged. First, key features of perovskites‐based photodetectors emphasizing their optoelectronic and electrical properties are introduced. Then, the polarization‐sensitive detection of metal halide perovskites using polarization‐selective optical structures is discussed. The bandgap engineering for tailoring the properties of perovskite photodetectors by changing the chemical composition and material structures is also highlighted in this report. Finally, a perspective on future opportunities and current challenges for designing perovskite‐based optoelectronic devices is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
