Enables high-resoultion applications in shortwave and near infrared surveillance, biometric ID, VR automation and more. Wafer thin: newly-produced image sensors for the SWIR applications range.

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

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 ...

Imec, the Leuven, Belgium-based research and innovation hub in nano- and digital technologies, has announced the successful integration of a “pinned photodiode structure” in thin-film image sensors.

Omnivision has introduced the new OV0TA1B monochrome (mono)/infrared (IR) CMOS image sensor, claiming it as the first and only solution that fits a 3-mm module Y dimension for smaller notebook ...

Thin films are sheets of material with a thickness of fewer than 50 nanometers and have received considerable attention in recent years due to their unique qualities and applications. Image Credit ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...
