We demonstrate a perovskite single-phototransistor visible-light spectrometer based on a deep-learning method. The size of the spectrometer is set to the scale of the phototransistor. A photoresponsivity matrix for the deep-learning system is learned from the characteristic parameters of the visible-light wavelength, gate voltage, and power densities of a commercial standard blackbody source. Unknown spectra are reconstructed using the corresponding photocurrent vectors. As a confirmatory experiment, a 532-nm laser and multipeak broadband spectrum are successfully reconstructed using our perovskite single-phototransistor spectrometer. The resolution is improved to 1 nm by increasing the number of sampling points from 80 to 400. In addition, a way to further improve the resolution is provided by increasing the number of sampling points, characteristic parameters, and training datasets. Furthermore, artificial intelligence technology may open pathways for on-chip visible-light spectroscopy.
