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 ...

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a next generation smart sensor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is capable of identifying infrared (IR) wavelengths ...

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 ...

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 ...

Enables high-resoultion applications in shortwave and near infrared surveillance, biometric ID, VR automation and more. Wafer thin: newly-produced image sensors for the SWIR applications range.

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has successfully developed a high-quality compound semiconductor material for ultra-sensitive short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensors. The study is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
