Conventional photodetectors are primarily designed to convert simple optical intensity into electrical signals, fundamentally losing access to this high-dimensional optical information. To address this pressing need, the development of integrated multidimensional photodetectors has emerged as a paramount research frontier in modern optoelectronics. This review systematically outlines the transformative research progress and future trajectories in the rapidly evolving field of multidimensional photodetection. The article constructs a highly synergistic “hardware-software” framework spanning from fundamental optoelectronic materials to system-level integration.
