Although a wide variety of sensors have been enabled by optical technology ... Bragg gratings function as filters for light, reflecting certain wavelengths while allowing others to pass through.

The device, inspired by the way biological neurons process information, has the ability to detect light and convert it into ...

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level ...

Next-generation imaging technology is rapidly expanding beyond smartphones into intelligent devices, robotics, extended ...

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have developed an optical sensor that could help solve this problem. Room thermostats are used in almost every building today to regulate the ...

Quantum sensors convert the signals into light, enabling extremely high-resolution optical imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners are known for their ability to look deep into the ...

[Sebastian] is trying to improve the responsiveness of an electric keyboard. He was unsatisfied with the lack of adequate sensitivity to keystroke. The first step in his process was to measure how ...

Those sensors are finicky and a few problems during testing prompted him to look at a redundant system. Right now he’s experimenting with adding an optical mouse sensor to the autonomous vehicle.

Quantum sensors convert the signals into light, enabling extremely high-resolution optical imaging. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have invented an entirely new field of ...
