The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has successfully developed a high-quality compound semiconductor material for ultra-sensitive short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensors. The study is published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.

SWIR sensors deliver clear visual information even in low-light conditions, detecting both infrared reflected off objects and that emitted directly by them. While traditionally used in military equipment such as night vision devices, SWIR sensors are now expanding into diverse fields, including autonomous vehicles,…
