Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are increasingly being used in multi-sensor instruments to measure LEL combustible gas. While they offer a number of significant advantages, NDIR sensors also ...

After decades of intense research, surprises in the realm of semiconductors - materials used in microchips to control ...

InVisage's new image sensor for infrared cameras could help drones avoid trees and could aid virtual reality headsets in seeing where you're pointing. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

Designed to meet the challenging accuracy and reliability requirements of demand controlled ventilation systems (DCVs), the IRCO2 is a CO2 sensor for HVAC applications. CO2 concentrations are an ...

The power switch with infrared proximity sensor is intended for the recognition of obstructions at distances of a few millimetres to a few centimetres. This compact sensor switch can be used to open a ...

Traffic lights might seem like they let cars stop or go randomly, but that's not always the case. Many of them use special ...

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 ...

Under the JST Strategic Basic Research Program PRESTO, Associate Professor Ayumi Ishii of Teikyo University of Science with her team members has developed a new near-infrared light sensor by using a ...

The new method, which uses quantum dots, performs as well as or better than current infrared light sources while being much ...

It is critically important for instrument users to understand what the sensors in their instrument cannot properly measure, as well as what they can. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are ...
