CMOS Imaging: From Industry to Consumer and Back Again
Ongoing advancements in CMOS sensor design are creating new possibilities for all sides of the imaging industry. The entire sensor industry is surging, according to reports by market research firms Energias Market Research, and Research and Markets. The global image sensor market, in particular, is expected to grow significantly, from $14.1 billion in 2017 to $25.6 billion in 2024, at a compound annual growth rate of 10.3 percent. The majority of this growth will occur in the consumer space, which typically commands nearly 80 percent of the market.

Researchers Demonstrate Ultrafast Conversion of Light into Electricity
A team from Kiel University filmed the conversion of light energy into a solid — an exchange that takes place in a matter of femtoseconds — using an ultrafast camera system developed by the researchers. The team was able to observe the energy exchange of the electrons with their environment in real time and distinguish individual phases.

Growing Developments with NIR Spectroscopy
Advancements to NIR LED emitters are helping to grow the product portfolio for mobile spectroscopy and opening new application fields for well-being and health monitoring for consumers. Near-infrared spectroscopy uses the characteristic light absorption behavior of certain molecular compounds. Directing a defined spectrum at a sample makes it possible to determine the presence and quantity of certain ingredients from the wavelength distribution of the reflected light. This method is used in the food and agriculture industries, among other sectors.

Flexible Waveguides Exhibit Low Light Loss for Biosensors, Wearables
Tiny, flexible waveguides, made in a clear silicone commonly used for biomedical applications, were created by a research team at École Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). To create the waveguides, the team used multiphoton laser direct writing, a microfabrication method in which a light-sensitive chemical is polymerized with a focused laser to create finely detailed 3D structures.
