Targeting use in tablet computers, notebooks, and smartphones, the CM36262 optical-lid-sensor chip contains a patent-pending optical-lid sensor, an ambient-light sensor, and a proximity sensor. The ...

Crystals doped with rare-earth (RE) ions exhibit very narrow linewidths of the optical transitions. The narrow-line spectra of triply ionized RE elements cover the entire visible and infrared range.

Nuclear magnetic resonance –based co-magnetometers are essential tools for applications ranging from inertial navigation to geophysical exploration and biomedical sensing. Their performance critically ...

CU Boulder researchers have built high-performing optical microresonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. At its simplest form, a microresonator is a tiny device that can trap light and ...

It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...

In any application using motors for automation, there is a need to ensure accurate control of the motor. To make this possible, the position and speed of the rotor in the motor, which is usually ...

In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers are increasingly adopting a new trend: Replacing multiple magnetic Hall-effect ...
