(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 ...

Cheaper, larger and better infrared detectors grown on silicon wafers could give more scientists access to infrared astronomy and further spur the hunt for exoplanets and the study of the universe’s ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Research groups from Southeast University and Nanjing Normal University Achieve New Milestones in High-Performance Room Temperature Infrared Detection A research team led by Professors ...

According to a study published in Nature Communications, researchers have created an extremely sensitive detector for identifying molecules based on their infrared vibrational “fingerprint.” ...

The diverse solutions are designed for a wide range of tactical, persistent surveillance, border and coastal protection, AFV and drone applications SCD ‒ a global leader in the development and ...

This circuit is presented as an alternative to the IR beam break detector featured in the June 2009 issue (Silicon Chip). In order to make it relatively insensitive to ambient light, it uses a ...

The sensor/monitor shown in the diagram ‘wakes up’ the host system on detection of infra-red (IR) signals. It draws so little supply current that it can remain on continuously in a notebook computer ...

The Amplified MCT Detector perfectly complements DRS Daylight’s pulsed mid-IR lasers, delivering a 245° K operational temperature and a rise time of less than 3 nanoseconds, all without requiring ...

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 ...
