contents Excitons, or bound electron-hole pairs, play a crucial role in the optical response of monolayer, 2H-phase transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). They hold significant promise for the development of novel quantum opto-electronic devices due to their large binding energies and strong spin-orbit coupling. Among the monolayer TMDs, MoTe2 stands out because of its bandgap in the near-infrared (NIR) regime. Here, we report the experimental observation of NIR Rydberg excitons and conduction band-split charged excitons, in high-quality, boron nitride (BN)-encapsulated monolayer MoTe2 devices, probed by photoluminescence and electroluminescence spectroscopy. By employing a graphite bottom gate, we successfully modulate the emission intensity of various excitonic species. Additionally, our device fabrication process within an argon-filled glove box ensures clean TMD/metal electrode interfaces, enabling the construction of p-n junctions near the electrodes. Our work significantly advances our understanding of excitons in monolayer TMDs and contributes to the application of MoTe2 in NIR quantum opto-electronic devices.
