Marktech Optoelectronics has announced the expansion of its surface-mount family of SWIR reflective sensors. The sensors are suitable for position sensing and detection applications, including card, barcode, edge sensing and money bill readers. Marktech surface-mount SWIR reflective sensors combine both a short wavelength infrared emitter and a high-sensitivity InGaAs photodiode. Emitted light from the sensor […]

InGaAs image sensor detects short-wavelength-IR up to 2.55µm

Hamamatsu Photonics has developed an InGaAs area image sensor for hyperspectral cameras capable of detecting short-wavelength-infrared light up to 2.55 µm which is the world’s longest wavelength detectable by this type of area image sensor. By applying compound opto-semiconductor manufacturing technology fostered in-house over many years, we designed and developed a new area image sensor […]
