Researchers at Aalto University, Finland, have developed a new type of infrared photodiode that, they say, is 35% more responsive at 1.55 µm, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to ...

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.

"Infrared light therapy [instead on the infrared light spectrum] operates in the longer wavelength range of 800 to 1200 nm,” he continues, with 830 nm being the most effective. This means it can ...

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

The instrument captured details of Mercury at mid-infrared wavelengths, in which details of the planet’s surface temperatures, roughness, and constituent minerals become apparent. “After about ...

University researchers have created a germanium-based infrared photodiode that is 35% more efficient at 1.55 µm, the key ...

Thus, observing the same object at multiple wavelengths offers a unique perspective on the target. "In PDS 70, the planets were discovered at optical and infrared wavelengths, while the ...
