Infrared detectors are generally classified as being either thermal or photon (quantum) detectors. Lead Sulfide (PbS) and Lead Selenide (PbSe) detectors are both members of the lead-salt family of ...

Recently, the group of Prof. Labao Zhang of Nanjing University, together with the group of researcher Haiyong Gan of the National Institute of Metrology, China, have developed a new thermal radiation ...

Imagine being able to capture a high-resolution 3D image of a distant object—even a human face—through fog, foliage, or ...

Researchers have designed a single-photon time-of-flight LiDAR system that can acquire a high-resolution 3D image of an object or scene up to 1 kilometer away. The new system could help enhance ...

This breakthrough opened up infrared and long-wave imaging to a wide range of applications for which photon detectors do not exist or cryogenic cooling requirements limit their use. Yet ...

The detection of light at the single-photon level is important for tasks ... because the act of switching causes it to emit a few infrared photons. This has allowed computer chip designers to ...

Researchers have designed a single-photon time-of-flight LiDAR system that can acquire a high-resolution 3D image of an object or scene ...

While confocal microscopy uses a pinhole to reject out-of-focus light to generate the optical section, a multi-photon (or 2-photon) microscope uses a pulsed infrared laser to stimulate fluorescence ..

Using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy ... Ppy-I nanocomposite as a high-performance material for single photon detection and other optoelectronic applications.

Expansive R&D Ventures: The relentless pursuit of scientific excellence is manifest in the ever-expanding landscape of ...
