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

Proximity sensing based on infrared signal acquisition and processing typically requires two parts to form the optical front end: an infrared LED and an optical sensor. The infrared LED beams infrared ...

This long-range, high-resolution sensor aims to overcome the limitations of current radar and light detection and ranging ...

Proximity detection adds many smart features to the devices we use.For example, when making a call with a phone held to your ear, face detection using proximity sensing can disable the touchscreen and ...

Take a Si1120 Ir-LED sensor and seven infrared LEDs. Add in one ultra-low power C8051F930 MCU. Mix thouroughly. The result is Silicon Labs' $199 Si1120 Evaluation Kit. It could also be your next 3D ...

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 ...

Circuit sculpture is a great way to elevate your soldering and electronics skills to the realm of three-dimensional art. In this case, art can be practical, too. Take [romaindurocher]’s interactive ...

It is critically important for instrument users to understand what the sensors in their instrument cannot properly measure, as well as what they can. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are ...

Proximity sensors have been around on our phones for quite a while and apart from detecting the presence of a human ear, it also locks the screen when the phone’s in the pocket and enables gesture ...
