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 ...

As drone threats push detection ranges outward, C-UAS performance is increasingly decided at the limits of visibility—where ...

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 ...

Shortwave infrared light (SWIR) sensors are desirable in a broad range of applications, particularly in the service robotics, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. Colloidal quantum dots tuned ...

Extending its portfolio of image sensors for automotive applications, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp. has announced the upcoming release of its new 5-megapixel (MP) IMX775 CMOS RGB-IR image sensor ...

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 ...
