Ag 2 Te colloidal quantum dot SWIR photodiodes on the left and solution-processed Ag 2 Te quantum dots on the right. The frequency regime lying in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) has very unique ...

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 ...

From self-driving cars to facial recognition, infrared sensors are all around us and our novel semiconductor research is taking this technology to the next level. Phlux - a Sheffield spinout -has ...

Well suited for engineers and R&D teams tackling complex industrial challenges, especially in agri-photonics, plastic sorting, and spectroscopy for food safety, these new InGaAs area image sensors ...

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 ...

STMicroelectronics is launching a human-presence and -motion detector to enhance security systems, home-automation equipment, and IoT devices that typically use passive infrared (PIR) sensing. The ...
