IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a next generation smart sensor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is capable of identifying infrared (IR) wavelengths ...

New miniaturized spectroscopy sensor technology developed by a European consortium could do for chemical sensing what camera phones have done for visual imaging. Developed by the MIRPHAB project, this ...

France-based infrared sensor maker Lynred has officially kicked off a new European project to develop high-performance devices for use in future defense systems. The Grenoble company is coordinating ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focusing power of meta-optical systems.

Detecting wavelengths beyond visible light—for instance, infrared light—offers clear advantages. Case in point is cameras in autonomous vehicles that ‘see’ through smoke or fog and cameras that unlock ...

Oil and gas production and work in confined spaces exposes field personnel to a variety of toxic and explosive gases in everyday drilling, processing, transport, and municipal operations. Explosive ...

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 ...

I needed a multichannel line tracker sensor module for an upcoming project. A quick search found several versions of infrared line tracker sensor modules that met or exceeded my demands, but I picked ...
