Harvard researchers have discovered that cycads—one of the oldest living lineages of seed plants—heat up their reproductive organs to attract beetle pollinators and the insects possess infrared ...

Lockheed Martin announced Nov. 17 that it had conducted the first flight test of a new distributed infrared threat warning system. The company shared images of its Rockwell Sabreliner testbed aircraft ...

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. The key ...

Abstract: High resolution range profile (HRRP) provides abundant target information but is susceptible to external electromagnetic interference. While infrared sensor possesses strong anti-jamming ...

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 ...

Whether employing low-frequency acoustics, infrared, or anything in between, time-of-flight (ToF) systems are used for distance measurement, flow measurement, and imaging in a growing range of ...

In recent decades, a quiet revolution has reshaped how we interact with the objects and systems in our daily lives. What once required cranks or rotary mechanisms, and later the press of a button, is ...

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 ...

Pictured, right: these 30 µm Noiseless InGaAs® APDs are high-speed, high-precision infrared sensors. Sheffield, UK,-- Phlux Technology, a manufacturer of avalanche photodiode (APD) infrared sensors, ...

Military-grade infrared vision goggles use detectors made of mercury cadmium telluride, a semiconducting material that’s particularly sensitive to infrared radiation. Unfortunately, you need to keep ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for the military or even autonomous vehicles. In a study published today in ...

Non-reciprocal optical devices, which break Lorentz reciprocity, are crucial for telecommunications, quantum computing, and optical signal processing. Traditional magneto-optic devices rely on bulky ...
