SiOnyx Detectors Set Milestone

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BEVERLY, Mass., June 25, 2010 — SiOnyx Inc., in collaboration with the Army Research Office (ARO), has successfully demonstrated pixel-scale detectors with room temperature detectivity (D*) exceeding 1×1014 Jones. This represents a full 10× improvement over traditional silicon detectors, setting a record for performance that paves the way for SiOnyx to lead in new sponsored research programs with the Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) and Darpa. Dr. A. Fenner Milton, director of NVESD, said, “NVESD is interested in approaches to low-light-level imaging that have the...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
