SNSPDs have been widely used in various applications requiring single photon detection thanks to their attractive performances. Since SNSPDs are thin films of serval nanometers in thickness, they are ...

Spectrometers analyze light-matter interactions across a range of wavelengths, serving as vital tools in scientific research and industries. Historically constrained by large size, complexity, and ...

A multilayered semiconductor acting as an optical sensor opens the way to miniaturized, adjunct spectrometers.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Optical spectrometers are devices that measure the variation in the absorption and emission of light over a range ( the change in the absorption and emission of light with ...

Researchers are designing new ways to make spectrometers that are ultra-small but still very powerful, to be used for anything from detecting disease to observing stars in distant galaxies.

(Nanowerk News) Spectrometers are technology for reading light that date back to the era of famed 17th-century physicist Isaac Newton. They work by breaking down light waves into their different ...
