Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

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 ...

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 ...

Anduril's new Iris AI-enabled EO/IR sensor riding atop the skin of an unidentified tactical fighter platform. The fighter was likely manned but the company says Iris is primarily intended for unmanned ...

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

SAN FRANCISCO – Washington-based startup Hydrosat is preparing to send its first thermal-infrared instrument into orbit July 8 on SpaceX’s Transporter-11 rideshare flight. The instrument, designed to ...

Shortwave infrared light (SWIR) sensors are desirable in a broad range of applications, particularly in the service robotics, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. Colloidal quantum dots tuned ...

As the world's largest volume manufacturer of ITAR-free infrared (IR) sensors and modules, Teledyne FLIR OEM delivers thousands of IR modules daily for defense, professional, automotive, and uncrewed ...

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 ...
