Researchers have created a plasmon laser detector that can sniff out tiny traces of airborne molecules of explosives. The sensor detected both DNT and ammonium nitrate at concentrations below one part ...

Research scientist and entrepreneur Sverre Dokken believes laser-based remote sensing has big potential in the maritime domain. But what is LADAR, who’s it for and what are the key benefits? “Our ...

From autonomous vehicles to optical testing, these sensors bring high performance infrared detection into real-world systems.

Every once in a while, you get your hands on a cool piece of hardware, and of course, it’s your first instinct to open it up and see how it works, right? Maybe see if it can be coaxed into doing just ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has launched two high-precision, small-form-factor laser navigation sensors for corded and cordless PC mice. Based on Avago's LaserStream technology, the ...

Innovative laser scanning technology from Optex can now be integrated with the Genetec™ Restricted Security Area (RSA) Surveillance module, to deliver a new era in security and detection in outdoor ...

Researchers have built a new platform that produces ultrashort UV-C laser pulses and detects them at room temperature using ...

Japanese researchers are pushing quantum technology to the point where it can register unimaginably small disturbances, edging closer to instruments that could follow the subtle fingerprints of dark ...

Users of iPhone 12 and later may have noticed the black dot near the lens. This is the LiDAR sensor that emits lasers and is ...

New technology under development at UC Berkeley could soon give bomb-sniffing dogs some serious competition. A team of researchers led by Xiang Zhang, UC Berkeley professor of mechanical engineering, ...
