At first glance, the infrared light sensor seems pretty useless. After all, you can’t get the motion sensor objective with this tool, and both ghosts and humans can trigger it.

Infrared sensors can help computers see without needing bright light sources that distract or annoy humans. An infrared light source, such as a laser or LED, can bathe a scene in light that humans ...

Compound semiconductors (e.g., InGaAs) having an optimal absorption band of 900–1700 nm, are used to detect light in the near-infrared region.

Kyoto Semiconductor Announces 14 Reflective Sensor Products Using Near-Infrared Light 1300-1650nm light source and photodetector integrated into one package SWIR type reflective sensor "KPR series" ...

Imec, a nanoelectronics research company, says the new RGB-NIR multispectral sensor makes it possible to use both data from the RGB spectrum as well as near infrared, an extra layer of detail that ...

Sierpinski triangles for mid-infrared sensing Fractals are becoming popular for when it comes to designing microwave and radio-frequency antennas thanks to their “self-similarity” that allows the ...

In the second generation of its near-infrared (NIR) technology for image sensors that operate in low to no ambient light conditions, OmniVision Technologies offers silicon semiconductor ...

The sensor can provide 1080p (1920x1080) resolution at 60 frames per second (fps) or 720p (1280x720) at 90 fps, via a 2-lane MIPI serial output. The OH02A1S also integrates 2 kilobits of one-time ...

The sensor, the TCS3701, can pick up both visible and infrared light, AMS said. The key development is the ability to ignore light produced by the OLED panel, registering only outside sources.

In this article, we implement a rain and ice sensor by analyzing the reflection of an infrared (IR) light source. This project uses proven techniques based on multiple reflections of IR light in ...
