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 ...

So where a typical proximity sensor might max out at around 1 meter or so, with a LiDAR sensor we can often go much farther, 80 to 100 meters is no problem at all. This reach depends on a variety of ...

The frequency regime lying in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) has very unique properties that make it ideal for several applications, such as being less affected by atmospheric scattering as well as ...

Sheffield, UK, January 7, 2026: Phlux Technology, a manufacturer of avalanche photodiode (APD) infrared (IR) sensors, will be showcasing its Aura family of Noiseless InGaAs® APDs at SPIE Photonics ...
