New photodetector could improve night vision, thermal sensing and medical imaging
UCLA’s design eliminates tradeoffs between bandwidth, sensitivity, and speed that are common in current technology
Using graphene, one of science’s most versatile materials, engineers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have invented a new type of photodetector that can work with more types of light than its current state-of-the-art counterparts. The device also has superior sensing and imaging capabilities. (more…)
