Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

In infrared sensors, the semiconductor material plays a critical role in detecting light signals and converting them into electrical signals. SWIR sensors designed for advanced applications typically ...

For Part 1, click here. High-speed optical communications applications have some high-level transimpedance-amplifier (TIA) circuit similarities with laser rangefinders (LRFs) and LiDAR. However, there ...

Shortwave infrared light (SWIR) sensors are desirable in a broad range of applications, particularly in the service robotics, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. Colloidal quantum dots tuned ...

Aura Noiseless InGaAs APDs are designed to meet MIL-STD-883, are qualified to Telcordia GR-468 and are drop-in replacements ...

The visible light spectrum that humans perceive spans only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum — roughly 430 to 750 THz, corresponding to wavelengths of ~400-700 nm. Just beyond this range ...

As the world's largest volume manufacturer of ITAR-free infrared (IR) sensors and modules, Teledyne FLIR OEM delivers thousands of IR modules daily for defense, professional, automotive, and uncrewed ...

Olympus has partnered with the Tokyo Institute of Technology to develop a new imaging sensor that is capable of capturing both color information and near-infrared information simultaneously. This is ...

An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...
