Two recent announcements from developers of infrared sensors point the way towards new applications for thermal imaging systems, as the technology behind them continues to make rapid strides. At the ...

A new infrared sensor delivers over one megapixel resolution with dual-band detection, enabling highly precise thermal imaging for defence, disaster monitoring, and advanced sensing applications in ...

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 ...

Olympus has partnered with the Tokyo Institute of Technology to develop a new imaging sensor that is capable of capturing both color information and near-infrared information simultaneously. This is ...

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 evidenced by the Covid-19 pandemic, quick and non-invasive techniques to assess body temperature have become necessary. In various locations, including hospitals, airports and schools, non-contact ...

Fractals are becoming popular for when it comes to designing microwave and radio-frequency antennas thanks to their “self-similarity” that allows the antenna to better collect and focus broadband, ...

The frequency regime lying in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) has very unique properties that make it ideal for several applications, such as being less affected by atmospheric scattering as well as ...

For Part 1, click here. High-speed optical communications applications have some high-level transimpedance-amplifier (TIA) circuit similarities with laser rangefinders (LRFs) and LiDAR. However, there ...
