Methane is a greenhouse gas that is significantly more damaging than carbon dioxide. Uncontrolled leaks from industrial plants can easily escape into the atmosphere. This is seen primarily as an…
Keeping critical parts of the railroad infrastructure free of snow, hail, ice – and even unauthorized personnel is essential for a safe and uninterrupted transportation service. Dual-band monitoring of critical…
Various visible and infrared cameras have been tested for the early detection of wildfires to protect archaeological treasures. Although visible cameras are low cost and give good results during daytime…
Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a significant spectroscopy technique, has been used in biomedical applications for about 20 years. It has evolved to a standard non-invasive examination procedure yielding detail-rich cross-sectional…
The efficiency of silicon solar cells can be estimated at an early manufacturing stage by deploying photoluminescence detectors. The phenomenon of luminescence, however, is a very weak effect occurring in…
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has evolved to a standard non-invasive biomedical analysis technique yielding a detail-rich cross-sectional image of living tissue. It spreads with breath-taking velocity and advances in the…
Optical microscopes typically use refractive glass lens systems to examine samples at large magnifications. Unlike infrared camera in MWIR and LWIR, SWIR cameras can operate with standard glass optics and…
Copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) thin-film cells for solar energy generation offer decisive economical advantages by enabling the manufacture of lightweight and flexible modules. The development of thin-film solar cell…
Thin-film solar cells have essential advantages compared to traditional cells based on silicon wafers. Yet, not much is known about the behaviour of thin-film solar cells under various lighting and…
Thermal imaging is simply defined as the use of an infrared sensor to detect radiation emitted from an object in the infrared spectrum. Any object higher in temperature than absolute…
