Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...

PITTSBURGH--Optical sensors may be uniquely suited for use in robotic hands, according to Carnegie Mellon University researchers who have developed a three-fingered soft robotic hand with multiple ...

Riding in as the industry’s first optical lid sensor chip for tablet computers, notebooks, and smartphones, the CM36262 integrates lid, ambient-light, and proximity sensors into a single chip that the ...

Researchers at Oregon State University are making key advances with a new type of optical sensor that more closely mimics the human eye's ability to perceive changes in its visual field. The sensor is ...

A novel dual-core optical fiber made from stretchable materials offers a flexible approach to optomechanical sensing, researchers report. It can distinguish and measure complex mechanical movement ...

Maxim Integrated introduces it’s new MAXREFDES27# IO-Link subsystem reference design that lets operators tune and calibrate an optical proximity sensor with excellent accuracy, up to 14 bit resolution ...

CU Boulder researchers have built high-performing optical microresonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. At ...

A research team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has developed new laser technology that could lead to tiny, ...

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 ...
