Build Your Own IR Windshield Rain Sensor Dec. 21, 2017 This system can monitor when a sheet of glass has either water or ice on its surface, and then generate a PWM signal to control a motor that ...

In this article, we implement a rain and ice sensor by analyzing the reflection of an infrared (IR) light source. This project uses proven techniques based on multiple reflections of IR light in ...

For building air conditioning systems in most cases it was previously necessary to mount an IR sensor on a stepper-driven mechanical scanner to complete sweeps of the target cooling area. Thanks to ...

Panasonic started the infrared array sensor business with its 8 x 8 thermopile array called Grid-EYE. Grid-EYE is a 64 pixel IR camera in an all-in-one compact SMD package. Based on Panasonic’s MEMS ...

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the second generation of Grid-EYE infrared (IR) array sensors from Panasonic. This new generation of Grid-EYE sensors – fully compatible with first generation ...

Together, those sensors will deliver a 300 megapixel short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera with a field of view 100 times wider than Hubble’s. For astronomers using WFIRST, that will translate to a better ...

Optical-Array Chip Steers Near IR and Blue Light. April 1, 2020. This compact technique could be used for augmented reality, trapped ion quantum computers and optogenetic neural stimulator.

These photoplethysmographic sensors operate by shining light into someone’s flesh ... [Raj] used a TCRT1000 reflective optical sensor. Inside this sensor is an infrared LED and a phototransistor.

Researchers can also use simple camera detectors to convert and steer the emission of laser light to make infrared light—in sensors, for example—visible.
