Despite their prevalent use in patient treatment, to many, using lasers as surgical tools can seem like something out of science fiction. However, laser-assisted surgery is now a reality and marks a ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

How transimpedance amplifiers are used in fiber-optic communications, laser rangefinders, and LiDAR systems. How avalanche photodiodes enhance TIA performance. Application-specific design and topology ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

The S17348 is ideal for YAG laser detection, and is also well suited to fiber laser detection, analytical instruments and ...

For Part 1, click here. High-speed optical communications applications have some high-level transimpedance-amplifier (TIA) circuit similarities with laser rangefinders (LRFs) and LiDAR. However, there ...
