  Pasadena CA (SPX) Jul 03, 2017 Engineers at Caltech have for the first time developed a light detector that combines two disparate technologies - nanophotonics, which manipulates light at the nanoscale, and thermoelectrics, which translates temperature differences directly into electron voltage - to distinguish different wavelengths (colors) of light, including both visible and infrared wavelengths, at high resolution. Light detectors that distinguish between different colors of light or heat are used in a variety of applicatio ... read more |
