IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it into electrical signals. There are two main types of sensors: ...

(Nanowerk News) What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain detectors for infrared (IR) light. At their core and besides readout ...

According to a study published in Nature Communications, researchers have created an extremely sensitive detector for identifying molecules based on their infrared vibrational “fingerprint.” This ...

A blood test using infrared spectroscopy can be used to diagnose two types of cancer, lymphoma and melanoma, according to a study led by Georgia State University. Researchers used mid-infrared ...

The X3301 multispectrum infrared flame detector from Det-Tronics now has certification for the industry’s greatest field-of-view protection, the longest detection range, and third-party approval for ...
