For example, a 0.71x telecompression factor delivers an effective aperture gain of approximately one stop. This means that the system is able to operate at lower ISO values or higher shutter speeds, ...

Some motion sensors are based on optical measurement technologies to provide accurate velocity and position measurements without requiring physical contact with the object or surface being monitored.

A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

A string of fiber-optic sensors running along a 36-km stretch of high-speed commuter railroad lines connecting Hong Kong to mainland China has taken more than 10 million measurements over the past few ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

Avago Technologies has announced a series of small form factor (SFF) optical mouse sensors with an integrated chip-on-board (COB) LED illuminated optical navigation system that is the thinnest in the ...

There is a point where taking technology for granted hides some of the incredible capabilities of seemingly simple devices. Optical mice are a great example of this principle, using what are more or ...
