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 ...

Scientists have discovered the function of a third type of light sensor in the eye -- not vision, but control of the body’s internal clock -- opening a new pathway for potential treatments of ...

Light sensors often use an infrared LED as a light source. Infrared LEDs have a greater intensity than LEDs that emit visible light. And when infrared photodiodes are used the sensors are relatively ...

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 ...

Sensor manufacturer Ams launched this week a new in-display ambient light and proximity sensor solution for smartphones equipped with OLED displays which essentially makes those modules invisible.
