Researchers have developed a compact infrared spectrometer. It's small enough to fit on a computer chip but can still open up interesting possibilities -- in space and in everyday life. Nowadays, a ...

The primary source of infrared radiation is heat -- the radiation produced by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter, including the motion of the atoms and molecules in an object. The ...

Physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a compact laser that emits extremely bright, short pulses of light in a useful but difficult-to ...

Researchers at ETH have developed a very compact infrared spectrometer that is small enough to fit on a computer chip and still provides "interesting possibilities." The researchers say that the chip ...

First introduced during Photonics West in San Francisco, California: the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR! With its 900-1750 nm wavelength range, this miniature, versatile near-infrared spectrometer can be used in ...

A new reconfigurable device that emits patterns of thermal infrared light in a fully controllable manner could one day make it possible to collect waste heat at infrared wavelengths and turn it into ...

Osram’s Oslon Piccolo infrared LED packs high optical power in a tiny footprint for automotive interior applications like gesture control. This ultra-compact infrared LED delivers DC power of 1.15 W ...

A new type of compact infrared laser promises to make it easier to identify specific molecules at very low concentrations within complex chemical samples. That is the claim of physicists in Germany ...

New tech will charge multiple devices in a room, via transmitters that will one day hide in your light fixtures. Jessica Dolcourt VP, Content Operations and Commerce, CNET Group and CNET Labs Jessica ...
