Optical pulses, which appear as a flash of light, are used to transmit information in high speed optical fibers, and are increasingly used in Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) for 3-dimensional ...

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

Using green light and a double-layered cell, PhD researcher Riccardo Ollearo from Eindhoven University of Technology (“TU/e”) has come up with a photodiode that has record sensitivity. Solar panels ...

The newly developed waveguide photodiode can be incorporated into various types of programmable photonic devices to measure the intensity of light travelling in the waveguide, with accuracy ...
