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 ...

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

(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 ...

Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology’s Center for Detectors received new funding from the National Science Foundation to continue developing infrared detectors for the next generation of ...

Infrared sensors that detect the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region can clearly recognize objects not only during the day and at night, but also in fog or smoke, making them a key component of future ...

Raytheon has demonstrated a new type of infrared camera that ditches the conventional approach of capturing full video frames ...

With sensor technology becoming increasingly fundamental to a world driven by big data, photonics is also riding on the wave. VIGO Photonics, a Polish company founded in 1987 and specialized in ...

Toxic metals are pushing infrared detector makers into a corner, but NYU Tandon researchers have developed a cleaner solution using colloidal quantum dots. These detectors are made like “inks,” ...

Military-grade infrared vision goggles use detectors made of mercury cadmium telluride, a semiconducting material that’s particularly sensitive to infrared radiation. Unfortunately, you need to keep ...
