CU Boulder researchers have built high-performing optical microresonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. At its simplest form, a microresonator is a tiny device that can trap light and ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance –based co-magnetometers are essential tools for applications ranging from inertial navigation to geophysical exploration and biomedical sensing. Their performance critically ...

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments. The OPT3001 sensor accurately measures the intensity of light visible to the human eye regardless of light source. Its precision spectral response tightly ...

The ambient light sensor on your Dell business laptop adjusts the brightness of your screen according to light intensity picked up from the room. In a brightly lit office, the ALS increases the ...

With the TSL2550 sensor, the intensity of ambient light can be converted to digital signals that, in turn, can be used to control the backlighting of display screens found in portable equipment, such ...

AND THEN THERE WAS LIGHT. Well, the whole electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, actually. Visible light occupies only a small portion of the spectrum, which extends from below the extremely low frequency ...
