A dust sensor is an optical electronic system to detect fine particles such as dust. In principle, an optical dust sensor detects the dust particle concentration the in air by using an optical sensing ...

Hyderabad-based firm EON Space Labs is developing a range of electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensors for integration into ...

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 ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...

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 ...

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leonardo DRS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS) announced today that it has been recognized with the prestigious 2024 Herschel Award for the development of a groundbreaking cooled ...

Acoustic MXene plasmons detect weak molecular fingerprints in nanometer-thick films while extending infrared sensing into the short-wave infrared.

A research team led by Prof. Jong-Soo Lee of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST, Daegu, Korea, in collaboration with Principal Researcher Min-Chul Park’s team at the Korea ...

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 ...
