TriEye and Vertilas Partner to Demonstrate 1.3μm VCSEL-Driven SWIR Sensing Solutions TEL AVIV, Israel, April 16, 2024/ – TriEye, pioneer of the world's first cost-effective mass-market Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) sensing technology, and Vertilas GmbH, a leader in InP VCSEL products, announced today the joint demonstration of a 1.3μm VCSEL-powered SWIR sensing system. TriEye and Vertilas announce their collaboration in advanced imaging technology. This partnership has led to the development of a technology demonstrator that integrates TriEye's state-of-the-art Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) Raven i ..read more

In a recent article in Optics Express titled "Watching the watchers: camera identification and characterization using retro-reflections,", Seets et al. from University of Wisconsin-Madison write: A focused imaging system such as a camera will reflect light directly back at a light source in a retro-reflection (RR) or cat-eye reflection. RRs provide a signal that is largely independent of distance providing a way to probe cameras at very long ranges. We find that RRs provide a rich source of information on a target camera that can be used for a variety of remote sensing tasks to characterize a ..read more

  Canon’s 2.8 MP LI7060 CMOS sensor is equipped with an HDR drive function that achieves a wide 120 dB range at low noise levels. This wide range results in a greater ability to extract usable information even where there is a substantial difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. Even when using the sensor during normal drive operation, the sensor can achieve a dynamic range of 75 dB. The LI5040 and 3U5MGXSBA global shutter image sensor employs an advanced pixel design introducing drive readout and gathering structures which help significantly reduce noise, and con ..read more
