Figure 1: (a) Photography of the miniaturized mid-infrared spectral sensing platform based on metasurface thermal emitters; (b) Thermal image encoding/decoding results of different metasurface thermal ...

Researchers use laser light to form a tiny “optical pinhole” inside a nonlinear crystal, which also turns the infrared image into a visible image that a traditional silicon-based camera sensor can ...

Teledyne Flir has announced new additions to its family of X-series science-grade thermal cameras for the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and longwave infrared (LWIR) spectrums: the X6980 HS high-speed ...

JWST's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) observations of Cassiopeia A (Cas A) provided detailed elemental mapping of its inner shell, identifying components such as sulfur, oxygen, argon, and neon.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) utilizes mid-infrared spectroscopy to precisely analyze molecular components such as water vapor and sulfur dioxide in exoplanet atmospheres. The key to this ...

Physicists have created a compact laser that emits extremely bright, short pulses of light in a useful but difficult-to-achieve wavelength range, packing the performance of larger photonic devices ...

IR cameras are propelling the automotive industry forward with their improved precision and efficiency in manufacturing.

Infrared imaging helps us see things the human eye cannot. The technology—which can make visible body heat, gas leaks or water content, even through smoke or darkness—is used in military surveillance, ...
