The Series 9 from First Sensor offers a wide range of silicon avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with very high sensitivity in the near infrared (NIR) wavelength range, especially at 905nm.With its internal gain mechanism, large dynamic range and fast rise time the APDs are suitable for LIDAR systems for optical distance measurement and object recognition according to the time of flight method.

LASER COMPONENTS has announced that its cost-effective SAH series of avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is now available in an M1 package. This is the smallest available SMD housing (Surface-Mounted Device), at only 2 mm x 1.4 mm. The new APDs will be presented at SPIE DCS in Orlando, Florida (Booth 1029).Optimised for wavelengths of 850 nm and 905 nm, these components are mainly designed for range finding applications in which larger detectors cannot ...

Engineers at the University of Washington have for the first time developed a method to safely charge a smartphone wirelessly using a laser.As the team reports in a paper published in theProceedings of the Association for Computing Machinery on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable & Ubiquitous Technologies, a narrow, invisible beam from a laser emitter can deliver charge to a smartphone sitting across a room — and can potentially charge a smar...

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. has announced the MAOT-025402 CWDM4 transmitter optical sub-assembly as a part of MACOM’s L-PIC(Laser-integrated Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuit) solution for 100Gbps CWDM4. Leveraging our patented L-PIC the MAOT-025402 is designed to mate with the MASC-37053A CDR to form the complete high speed transmit path for QSFP28 CWDM4 solutions. MACOM’s MAOT-025402 CWDM4 L-PIC solution will be on display at ...

To meet the need for reliable signal detection in wearable devices and medical and industrial applications, Vishay Intertechnology has broadened its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of two high speed silicon PIN photodiodes that deliver enhanced sensitivity for visible light.

Solid state imaging technologies have revolutionised medical imaging equipment from X-ray machines to ultrasonic scanners, writes Sally Ward-Foxton.

Computer simulations of electrical charges sent to retinal implants based on fractal geometry have University of Oregon researchers moving forward with their eyes focused on biological testing.That is potential down-the-road good news for people facing vision loss from retinal diseases, such as macular degeneration that, alone, incurs costs exceeding $340 billion globally, according to the Brightfocus Foundation.

Worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, ams, has released the AS5900, a current-to-digital converter for use in Computed Tomography (CT) scanners which offers ultra-low noise, very high resolution and linearity.The analogue performance of the AS5900 will enable new CT scanners to produce sharper, more detailed images. Medical CT scanners equipped with the AS5900 will feature an improved X-ray detector module, and will help physic...

LASER COMPONENTS’ COUNT series of photon counting modules has beendeveloped to offer a unique combination of high quantum efficiency, wide dynamicrange and ease of use for photon counting applications.Combining our ultra-low-noise avalanche photodiodes with specially developedquenching and signal processing electronics, the COUNTseries offers everythingneeded for single photon detection from 350 - 1600nm.

LED-based NDIR detector specialists, Gas Sensing Solutions (GSS), has launched its newCO2sensor, SprintIR6S. GSS' SmartIR technology has enabled it to create a sensor that can take up to 20 readings per second, which it claims to be a world record for NDIR CO2detectors, and has a six times faster response rate than the current SprintIR.
