Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

Lasers usually conjure up the image of bulky devices with mirrors inside that shine a coherent beam out one end. However, scientists from Kent University have created a model that's just a flat piece ...

CO2 lasers are very powerful and reliable laser sources. However, the 10 µm wavelength has the disadvantage that it cannot be seen with the naked human eye nor can it be measured with simple and ...

Earthquake damaged buildings, bridges and other critical infrastructure may be evaluated more quickly for safety and response options following an event with new optical sensor technology and software ...

Founded by two veterans of Apple's still-secret driverless car project, Aeva is a startup promising a different kind of lidar—one that can measure the velocity of objects in addition to their distance ...

BFi OPTiLAS, pan-european partner of Ophir Photonics, is proud to announce the new BeamTrack Laser Power/Position/Size Sensors. BeamTrack is a unique series of thermal detectors that combine multiple ...

Using ultra-fast laser beams, a team from the Irradiated Solids Laboratory has designed an experiment that allows both the ...
