If you've ever noticed a strange sphere on your car's dash and wondered what it's for, you're not alone. Here's what that odd ...

Abstract: In this paper, several studies on total ionizing dose effects on pinned photodiode CMOS images sensors are presented. More precisely, the evolution of a parasitic signal called random ...

As programmable photonics use light instead of electrons to transmit and process signals, they promise faster, more ...

Apple's iPhone 18 could feature advanced camera sensors manufactured by Samsung at its Austin, Texas facility, marking a ...

Abstract: Photodiode (PD)-based Visible Light Positioning (VLP)-based localisation systems seem propitious for the low-cost tracking and route-configurable navigation of automated guided vehicles, ...

Researchers developed a single photodiode sensor that detects full-color light using perovskite materials, impedance data, and machine learning algorithms. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Conventional ...

Hamamatsu Photonics is pleased to announce the launch of its latest InGaAs Photodiodes (PD) series designed for longer wavelengths. The G1719X series are near-infrared sensors offering high ...

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 ...
