Infrared Innovation Heats Up with a Nano-Tunable Filter
A new nanoengineered approach promises to make infrared spectrometers dramatically cheaper, more compact, and more robust — by replacing bulky moving optics with a heat-tunable metasurface. [...]View
Reconstructive Infrared Microspectrometers
The University of Western Australia is spearheading a project to develop compact, low-power infrared microspectrometers using cutting-edge technologies like metasurfaces and MEMS. [...]View
New all-optical approach to revolutionise night vision technology
TMOS researchers from the Australian National University demonstrate enhanced infrared vision non-linear upconversion technology using a non-local lithium niobate metasurface, making significant progr [...]View
New metasurface-based edge detecting filter for remote sensing transforms crop monitoring
Optical metasurfaces have enabled analog computing and image processing within sub-wavelength footprints, and with reduced power consumption and faster speeds. While various image processing metasurfa [...]View
Lower cost infrared imaging systems improving your weather forecast.
The result of this approach is a more cost-effective MCT IR detector capable of withstanding environmental stressors more effectively, making it ideal for various applications, including meteorologica [...]View
Continuous non-invasive glucose sensing on the horizon with the development of a new optical sensor.
Researchers at TMOS, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have taken an important step towards eliminating this discomfort. Their RMIT Universi [...]View
Bright idea: new LEDs can detect off food and lethal gases
Researchers from TMOS have developed a device that is essentially a tuneable LED and photodetector that could identify a suite of gases, potentially including lethal ones, improving the safety of fi [...]View
From Dark Nights to Safe Highways: New Infrared technology delivering 360-degree vision on the road
Anyone whose rearview camera has saved them from a broken bumper knows the value of eyes in the back of your head. That’s why new cars come complete with rear-facing visible cameras, RADAR and near- [...]View
Saving lives by seeing through the smoke
When a building is on fire, every second counts. It can mean life or death for trapped victims and no emergency responder wants to be slowed down because they can’t see through walls of smoke. But f [...]View
Phobia of needles? New research could spell the end for blood testing.
Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and TMOS, an Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence, have made new progress towards the development of mid-infrared nanophotonics, [...]View
