Researchers from Skoltech have devised a way to detect infrared radiation across a wide range without cooling the detector.

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 electronics, such ...

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 ...

Polarization, as a primary physical quantity of light, is of great interest to almost all optical sciences and technologies. Along with linear polarization detection, circular polarization (or light ...

(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 ...

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 ...

Mosquito-borne diseases affect hundreds of millions of people every year, with a disproportionate impact on the developing world. One mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, is a primary vector of viruses ...

The advanced Model IR400 Point IR Combustible Gas Detector from General Monitors features an industry-leading three-second T90 response time to the presence of combustible hydrocarbon-based gases, ...

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 ...
