This week, at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM 2025), imec, a research and innovation hub in advanced ...

Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are highly sensitive light detectors, capable of detecting single photons. Photons of certain wavelengths, when absorbed by photodiodes, generate ...

Hamamatsu Photonics, a global leader in photonic sensors, announces the launch of the S16495 silicon photodiode. Engineered ...

Researchers developed a single photodiode sensor that detects full-color light using perovskite materials, impedance data, and machine learning algorithms. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Conventional ...

In order to help his friend prepare for a talk at DEFCON this weekend, [Craig] built an IR photodiode amplifier circuit. The circuit extended the detection range of the hack from a few inches to a few ...

Programmable photonics devices, which use light to perform complex computations, are emerging as a key area in integrated photonics research. Unlike conventional electronics that transmit signals with ...

Photodiode is a type of light detector capable of converting light energy into either current or voltage, depending upon the mode of operation. Photodiodes are similar to typical semiconductor diodes ...

Silicon is the material of choice for visible light photodetection and solar cell fabrication. However, due to the intrinsic band gap properties of silicon, most infrared photons are energetically ...

Imec, the Leuven, Belgium-based research and innovation hub in nano- and digital technologies, has announced the successful integration of a “pinned photodiode structure” in thin-film image sensors.

Hamamatsu Photonics announces the new S16495 silicon photodiode, explicitly engineered for high-sensitivity detection at 310 nm. This latest addition to our extensive line of photonic technologies is ...

Marktech had revealed the latest in its line of sensors which combine many LEDs of different wavelengths with a photodiode. MTMD142345PDT38 has five LEDs at 1.04, 1.2, 1.3, 1.46 and 1.55μm, plus an ...

This Photodiode based Alarm can be used to give a warning alarm when someone passes through a protected area. The circuit is kept standby through a laser beam or IR beam focused on to the Photodiode.
