The demand for compact and high-performance optical devices in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region continues to grow, driven by applications ranging from molecular spectroscopy to advanced sensing technologies. Yan He and Adetunmise Dada, from the University of Glasgow, and their colleagues present a new metalens design that addresses key limitations of conventional optics in this crucial spectral band. Their research overcomes the challenges of chromatic aberration and bulky components by utilising subwavelength nanostructures to precisely control light, achieving stable fo...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has successfully developed a high-quality compound semiconductor material for ultra-sensitive short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensors. The study is published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. SWIR sensors deliver clear visual information even in low-light conditions, detecting both infrared reflected off objects and that emitted directly by them. While traditionally used in military equipment such as night vision devices, SWIR sensors are now expanding into diverse fields, including autonomous vehicles,...

At the 2024 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, and its partners in the Belgian project Q-COMIRSE, present a first of its kind prototype shortwave infrared image sensor with indium arsenide quantum dot photodiodes. The sensor demonstrated successful 1390 nm imaging results, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to first-generation quantum dots that contain lead, which limited their widespread manufacturing. The proof-of-concept is a critical ste...
