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 ...

Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) are developing CMOS-compatible thermoelectric infrared ...

Anduril's new Iris AI-enabled EO/IR sensor riding atop the skin of an unidentified tactical fighter platform. The fighter was likely manned but the company says Iris is primarily intended for unmanned ...

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 ...

Researchers have fabricated a new high-performance shortwave infrared (SWIR) image sensor based on non-toxic colloidal quantum dots. They report on a new method for synthesizing functional ...

Researchers developed a type of infrared photodiode that is 35% more responsive at 1.55 m, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to other germanium-based components. Detecting infrared ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) utilizes mid-infrared spectroscopy to precisely analyze molecular components such as water vapor and sulfur dioxide in exoplanet atmospheres. The key to this ...

When intelligence-gathering matures from finding and following an individual or vehicle to monitoring entire groups to understand their intent, the narrow, “soda straw” field-of-view of conventional ...

As radar technology continues to advance, it offers an increasingly broad range of capabilities, making it a viable alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. With radar’s enhanced ...

The global sensor market is well established, with hundreds of millions of sensors produced yearly. Yet the market remains in flux, with trends in future mobility, edge computing, AI, and digital ...
