Compiled by Photonics Spectra staff

A new method that employs precise etching to produce miniaturized thermal imaging sensors promises to enable large-scale manufacturing of automotive safety devices. Because they see more than the naked eye, infrared cameras could improve traffic safety. They already are being used in the construction industry and the military; however, infrared cameras are barely available in mobile applications such as automotive safety systems because long-range infrared microsensors are difficult to produce commercially in the quantities necessary. Now, the Fraunhofer Institute for...Read full article
