They all contain detectors for infrared (IR) light. At their core and besides readout electronics, such detectors usually consist of a crystalline semiconductor material. Such materials are ...

To eliminate the need for conventional large infrared detectors, the researchers used ultra-confined HPhPs to directly detect molecular fingerprints in nanometer-thin molecular layers through the ...

Recently, the group of Prof. Labao Zhang of Nanjing University, together with the group of researcher Haiyong Gan of the National Institute of Metrology, China, have developed a new thermal radiation ...

Highly sensitive shortwave infrared (SWIR) detectors are essential for detecting weak radiation (typically below 10 −8 W·Sr −1 ·cm −2 ·µm −1) with high-end passive image sensors ...

USAF's F-22 Raptors receive cutting-edge TacIRST sensors, enhancing threat detection and performance in radar-restricted ...

U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor stealth fighters are in line to receive distributed arrays of compact Lockheed Martin TacIRST ...

Read about the U.S. Air Force's $270 million contract with Lockheed Martin for the integration of next-generation infrared ...
