Better Filters Yield Better Sensor Performance
From weather satellites to lidar for self-driving cars, precision optical filters play a vital role in making sensors work. Today, the ability to interrogate more and more sections of spectrum promises enhanced capabilities for these and other applications. On the horizon are materials and techniques that could make precision optical filters tunable. However, performance, cost, and other issues must be addressed. An illustration of today’s state-of-the-art capabilities can be found in the...
