IRISYS (Infrared Integrated Systems Ltd), Northampton, UK, is promoting thermal technology for intelligent building. Using its own thermal imaging cameras, the company has developed a range of ...

A new ultrathin photodetector captures light across the full spectrum in just 125 picoseconds, opening the door to faster, smarter imaging technologies.

The presented schematic shows how to build a simple PIR motion sensor. PIR sensors allow motion sensing, it is almost always used to detect whether someone has moved in or out of the sensors range.

Electrical engineers at Duke University report they have built a record-setting pyroelectric photodetector that uses trapped light in a plasmonic nanogap to capture a signal in just 125 picoseconds ...

Pyreos, the Edinburgh-headquartered maker of thin-film infrared sensors, is to develop a new and more sensitive generation of the pyroelectric devices, thanks to a near-£1 million research project ...

Hoofddorp, Netherlands: The latest version of Murata's pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor is claimed by the company to be the world's smallest at 5.0 x 4.7 x 2.4 mm, enabling the sensor to be used in ...

An infrared sensor being developed in Italy is helping researchers monitor coronary heart-bypass operations. Scientists in Italy are developing an infrared (IR) instrument to monitor changes in blood ...
