University of Central Florida (UCF) researcher Debashis Chanda, a professor at UCF's NanoScience Technology Center, has developed a new technique to detect long wave infrared (LWIR) photons of ...

A turnkey mid-wave infrared module enables high-performance thermal imaging for tactical drones and other applications.

(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 ...

Scientists at the Jülich Research Center (Forschungszentrum Jülich; FJ), Germany, together with Italian and German partners, have developed a new type of infrared detector that can be easily ...

Advanced-technology sensors, coupled with data processing and fusion and networked communications, have enabled new approaches to warfighting and have been essential for reducing combat losses, ...

Infrared sensors used in thermal imaging cameras and for body temperature detection have been difficult to produce without ...
