There are a bunch of dedicated devices that literally lift the veil of darkness to reveal a secret nocturnal world. Some ...

Stratio, a Korean deep-tech startup founded by three Stanford Ph.D. graduates, is introducing what it claims is the first germanium-based short-wave infrared sensor designed for large-scale commercial ...

Anduril Industries has acquired American Infrared Solutions, or AIRS, for an undisclosed sum as part of a push to expand its portfolio of sensing technologies across the electromagnetic spectrum for ...

The visible light spectrum that humans perceive spans only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum — roughly 430 to 750 THz, corresponding to wavelengths of ~400-700 nm. Just beyond this range ...

Whether you're searing steaks in a cast-iron skillet, calibrating a pizza oven, or checking the temperature on HVAC equipment, a reliable infrared thermometer is a necessity not only for accuracy but ...

Grilling a steak to the perfect medium-rare. Roasting a whole chicken without drying it out. Smoking a brisket low and slow until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender. Whether you’re a home cook or backyard ...

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for the military or even autonomous vehicles. In a study published today in ...

An upgraded, passive missile targeting sensor for the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fleet is now eligible for deployment, the U.S. Navy said on Feb. 4. The Block II infrared search and track (IRST) ...

I have to admit that, even if the F-16s, F-22s, and F-35s of the U.S. Air Force (USAF) spectacularly make the headlines every week, it is the Navy-operated Super Hornets that really get my blood ...

For Part 1, click here. High-speed optical communications applications have some high-level transimpedance-amplifier (TIA) circuit similarities with laser rangefinders (LRFs) and LiDAR. However, there ...
