This infrared detector circuit uses a passive IR-detector component PID20. It converts heat radiation into electrical impulses. The output voltage of the PID20 increases when an object comes close to ...

Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have developed an organic infrared photodiode that achieves record-level sensitivity in devices that are ultrathin and ready to be integrated into ...

Infrared radiation, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum invisible to the human eye, is a key enabling component in a myriad of technologies, spanning from communication to medicine to astronomy.

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 ...

A car full of people can soon lead to the build-up of CO 2 to a level where the driver can be come drowsy, creating a safety issue. Of course, it is possible to ventilate the cabin all the time but at ...

MSA has introduced the FlameGard 5 flame detector family, the latest line in its FlameGard Series. At the forefront is the FlameGard 5 MSIR detector, a multi-spectral infrared detector that features ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

The project aims to build a very simple clock that does not contain any buttons, alarms, or settings besides time as it uses infrared to detect light. The IR sensor data is being read by the ...
