Researchers developed a type of infrared photodiode that is 35% more responsive at 1.55 m, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to other germanium-based components.

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to ...

A total solar eclipse, hurricane, wildfire, an aurora borealis and severe weather are all shown in breathtaking detail.

"Today, lidars use silicon-based infrared detectors, which measure IR light with a wavelength of around 905 nanometers," says the researcher. The problem: Although this wavelength is invisible to ...
