Electro-optic sensors span a wide range of technologies, from various types of imaging devices to infrared (IR) detectors. They are used for various defense applications that enhance situational ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

In recent years, IR blasters have become a standard part of smart TV systems, but it's not always clear just what these devices are or do. For starters, the IR in the name stands for infrared, which ...

An optical drone dips low in front of a herd of antelope, gathering stunning footage for a new documentary. Equipped with advanced optics for drones mounted securely in its unobtrusive body, it is ...

Infrared, or IR, sensors do more than detect heat energy. They help spot wildfires, monitor air pollution and detect signs of disease. However, many of the most advanced IR sensors must operate at sub ...

MUSTER seeks to develop and test electro-optical and RF sensors for future air, space, and command-and-control systems for time-sensitive targeting. WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio – U.S. Air Force ...

Vishay’s VEML6046X00 RGB IR sensor is AEC-Q100 qualified for use in vehicle displays and interior lighting. This compact device integrates a photodiode, low-noise amplifier, and 16-bit ADC in an ...

Sensor data is the output of a device that detects, analyzes and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The output is used to provide information to an end user or as input to ...
