Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Researchers have developed plasmonic plastic -- a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be 3D-printed. This research has now resulted in 3D-printed optical hydrogen ...

Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

Sometimes we need a non-contact liquid level sensor. There are several ways to build that, but the easiest is to try an optical liquid level sensor. You may already have an idea in mind since you are ...

Founded in 2018, OroraTech began launching its sensors in 2022 on third party satellites and, in 2025, deployed its first ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

Wanting to experiment with using optical mouse sensors but a bit frustrated with the lack of options, [Tom Wiggins] rolled his own breakout board for the ADNS 3050 optical mouse sensor and in the ...
