How transimpedance amplifiers are used in fiber-optic communications, laser rangefinders, and LiDAR systems. How avalanche photodiodes enhance TIA performance. Application-specific design and topology ...

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 ...

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 ...

SAN FRANCISCO – Washington-based startup Hydrosat is preparing to send its first thermal-infrared instrument into orbit July 8 on SpaceX’s Transporter-11 rideshare flight. The instrument, designed to ...

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 ...

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 ...
