(InfraRed detector) A sensing device that picks up radiation in the infrared band. Used extensively for still and video night vision cameras, cooled IR detectors can sense the makeup of nebulae light ...

A team of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories has developed small, gold antennas that let IR cameras and sensors “see” clearer pictures of thermal radiation for everything from stars and ...

On May 29 this year, the "Tianwen-2" probe, equipped with a long-distance ranging sensor, set off from the Xichang Satellite ...

Having entered the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics in 1983 under the mentorship of Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Sofradir is displaying a focal plane array featuring integrated optics at this week's SPIE Defense, Security & Sensing conference. Sofradir, a leading manufacturer of advanced infrared (IR) detectors ...

You can classify infrared light into three broad ranges: short wave, medium wave, and long wave. Traditionally, sensors concentrate on one or two bands, and each band has its own purpose. Short wave ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

Innovative infrared sensors in gas detection enhance emission monitoring, enabling industries to meet regulatory standards ...

(Nanowerk News) What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain detectors for infrared (IR) light. At their core and besides readout ...

Infrared IR, detectors are widely used to monitor industrial facilities for the presence of fl ames ensuring that the risk of an outbreak of fi re is minimised. A fl ame will fl icker randomly at a ...

This infrared detector circuit uses a passive IR-detector component PID20. It converts heat radiation into electrical impulses. The output voltage of the PID20 increases when an object comes close to ...

Jülich researchers, together with Italian and German colleagues, have developed a particularly cost-effective infrared detector that can be easily integrated into existing camera chips and smartphones ...
