Infrared light promises to do all the things Nichols said ... Here is a look at some of the claims and what the science says ...

Researchers developed a type of infrared photodiode that is 35% more responsive at 1.55 m, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to other germanium-based components.

Most infrared photodiodes are made of InGaAs, a material that is neither CMOS compatible nor good for the environment. Here’s ...

Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced the launch of the LUMOS™ II ILIM, a quantum cascade laser (QCL) based ...

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to ...

A researcher has developed a new technique to detect long wave infrared (LWIR) photons of different wavelengths or 'colors.' The new detection and imaging technique will have applications in ...

According to a study published in the journal Light: Science & Applications, the photodiode has been created using Germanium instead of the commonly used Indium,Gallium, and Arsenide. Germanium offers ...
