Jülich researchers, together with Italian and German colleagues, have developed a particularly cost-effective infrared detector that can be easily integrated into existing camera chips and smartphones ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have developed an organic infrared photodiode that achieves record-level sensitivity in devices that are ultrathin and ready to be integrated into ...

(Nanowerk News) What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain detectors for infrared (IR) light. At their core and besides readout ...

SCD, a global leader in defense technology specializing in the development and manufacture of a wide range of cooled and uncooled infrared detectors and high-power laser diodes, announces significant ...

The devices, which operate on a heterojunction-gated (HG) structure, demonstrate high responsivity and detectivity while maintaining a simplified fabrication process. This approach avoids the ...

The first room-temperature light detector that can sense the full infrared spectrum has the potential to put heat vision technology into a contact lens. Unlike comparable mid- and far-infrared ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...

A new kind of silicon photodetector invented by physicists in Canada and the UK should help to ensure that the Internet does not grind to a halt, as people share and download ever-more online data.
