Most infrared photodiodes are made of InGaAs, a material that is neither CMOS compatible nor good for the environment. Here’s ...

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have successfully developed new nanoscale force sensors made from luminescent ...

Researchers developed a type of infrared photodiode that is 35% more responsive at 1.55 m, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to other germanium-based components.

The new specialized tunable detection and imaging technique for infrared photons surpasses ... such as consumer electronics, molecular sensing and space to name a few,” Chanda says.

[Fjord Carver] brings together an RGB LED and CdS Photoresistor to make a color sensor. Those Cadmium Sulfide lights sensors usually have a very wide swing of resistance when exposed to varying ...
