  2. Photonic integrated circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photonic_integrated_circuit

    PICs can be applied in sensor systems, like Lidar (which stands for light detection and ranging), to monitor the surroundings of vehicles. [14] It can also be deployed in-car connectivity through Li-Fi, which is similar to WiFi but uses light. This technology facilitates communication between vehicles and urban infrastructure to improve driver ...

  3. Photoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_sensor

    Remote photoelectric sensors used for remote sensing contain only the optical components of a sensor. The circuitry for power input, amplification, and output switching is located elsewhere, typically in a control panel. This allows the sensor, itself, to be very small. Also, the controls for the sensor are more accessible, since they may be ...

  4. Structured-light 3D scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured-light_3D_scanner

    A structured-light 3D scanner is a device used to capture the three-dimensional shape of an object by projecting light patterns—such as grids or stripes, onto its surface. [1] The deformation of these patterns is recorded by cameras and processed using specialized algorithms to generate a detailed 3D model .

  5. Photodetector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodetector

    Incident light generates charge in the capacitors, which is sequentially read and processed to form an image. CCDs are commonly used in digital cameras and scientific imaging applications. CMOS Image Sensors (CIS): CMOS image sensors are based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. They integrate photodetectors and signal ...

  6. Optoelectronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optoelectronics

    Electronic light sensors. Optoelectronics (or optronics) is the study and application of electronic devices and systems that find, detect and control light, usually considered a sub-field of photonics. In this context, light often includes invisible forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet and infrared, in

  7. Optical computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_computing

    Optical computing or photonic computing uses light waves produced by lasers or incoherent sources for data processing, data storage or data communication for computing.For decades, photons have shown promise to enable a higher bandwidth than the electrons used in conventional computers (see optical fibers).

  8. Linear optical quantum computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_optical_quantum...

    For example, a set of modes could be different polarization of light which can be picked out with linear optical elements, various frequencies, or a combination of the two cases above. In the KLM protocol, each of the photons is usually in one of two modes, and the modes are different between the photons (the possibility that a mode is occupied ...

  9. Active-pixel sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active-pixel_sensor

    In three-sensor camera systems that use separate sensors to resolve the red, green, and blue components of the image in conjunction with beam splitter prisms, the three CMOS sensors can be identical, whereas most splitter prisms require that one of the CCD sensors has to be a mirror image of the other two to read out the image in a compatible ...
