According to a study published in Nature Communications, researchers have created an extremely sensitive detector for identifying molecules based on their infrared vibrational “fingerprint.” ...

Polarization, as a primary physical quantity of light, is of great interest to almost all optical sciences and technologies. Along with linear polarization detection, circular polarization (or light ...

Sandia National Laboratories optical engineer Michael Goldflam sets up equipment to load and characterize a new nanoantenna-enabled detector. A team of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories has ...

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories working to improve infrared sensors say that their gold nano-antenna technology is ready to be transferred out of the lab and into commercial development.

The X3301 multispectrum infrared flame detector from Det-Tronics now has certification for the industry’s greatest field-of-view protection, the longest detection range, and third-party approval for ...

The visible light spectrum that humans perceive spans only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum — roughly 430 to 750 THz, corresponding to wavelengths of ~400-700 nm. Just beyond this range ...
