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 ...

The high-sensitivity image sensor modules are versatile. Imaging applications include real-time non-destructive inspection ...

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 ...

Since the later half of the 1990s though, your rodent has been ever significantly more likely to rely upon an optical sensor taking the form of a small CCD camera connected to motion sensing ...

and a CMOS sensor detects the light reflections as the mouse is moved. Early optical mice required a special mouse pad, but modern devices can be rolled over traditional pads, as well as almost ...

[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 ...
