Doug Bonderud is an award-winning writer capable of bridging the gap between complex and conversational across technology, innovation and the human condition. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound ...

It is critically important for instrument users to understand what the sensors in their instrument cannot properly measure, as well as what they can. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are ...

Anduril's new Iris AI-enabled EO/IR sensor riding atop the skin of an unidentified tactical fighter platform. The fighter was likely manned but the company says Iris is primarily intended for unmanned ...

It’s called IRST21 and it takes two years to produce a unit from Lockheed Martin in Orlando and Ocala. This highly advanced infrared sensor identifies the heat signature from friction as air passes ...

"Modern asymmetric warfare imposes new and stringent requirements on the sensor technologies and image resolution needed by the war-fighter - which is good for business." Addressing a symposium on ...

Proximity sensors have been around on our phones for quite a while and apart from detecting the presence of a human ear, it also locks the screen when the phone’s in the pocket and enables gesture ...

How transimpedance amplifiers are used in fiber-optic communications, laser rangefinders, and LiDAR systems. How avalanche photodiodes enhance TIA performance. Application-specific design and topology ...

Lockheed Martin’s latest flight test of its Gen III TacIRST sensor signals a decisive step in how the F-22 Raptor will detect ...

Some readers may recall building a line-following robot during their school days. Involving some IR LEDs, perhaps a bit of LEGO, and plenty of trial-and-error, it was fun on a tiny scale. Now imagine ...

In this article, we implement a rain and ice sensor by analyzing the reflection of an infrared (IR) light source. This project uses proven techniques based on multiple reflections of IR light in the ...

Omnivision has introduced the new OV0TA1B monochrome (mono)/infrared (IR) CMOS image sensor, claiming it as the first and only solution that fits a 3-mm module Y dimension for smaller notebook ...
