With sensor technology becoming increasingly fundamental to a world driven by big data, photonics is also riding on the wave. VIGO Photonics, a Polish company founded in 1987 and specialized in ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have developed an organic infrared photodiode that achieves record-level sensitivity in devices that are ultrathin and ready to be integrated into ...

Cheaper, larger and better infrared detectors grown on silicon wafers could give more scientists access to infrared astronomy and further spur the hunt for exoplanets and the study of the universe’s ...

Substantial miniaturization of infrared (IR) sensors is necessary for their incorporation into next-generation portable electronics, wearable devices, and small satellites. However, modern infrared ...
