The ability to detect single photons (the smallest energy packets constituting electromagnetic radiation) in the infrared range has become a pressing need across numerous fields, from medical imaging ...

Mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) is a unique regime with various potential applications in fingerprint detections. Besides, it is also one of three atmospheric transmission windows which shows many ...

Photonis, a leading brand of Exosens and a global innovator in advanced photon detection and imaging solutions, is thrilled to announce the launch of Cricket™ Pro and PhotonPix™, two revolutionary ...

About 80% of the universe's mass is thought to consist of dark matter. Yet, little is known about the composition and structure of the particles that make up dark matter, presenting physicists with ...

So I've been familiar with the basics of polarization since forever, but I recently realized circular polarization is a mystery to me. I've heard of it in conjunction with eg satellite broadcasts, but ...

(Nanowerk News) Terahertz radiation, whose wavelengths lie between those of microwaves and visible light, can penetrate many nonmetallic materials and detect signatures of certain molecules. These ...
