Series 16 – Episode 4 – The evolving landscape of IR sensor technology
Paige West speaks with Benjamin White , Phlux Technology about the latest innovations in the field of 1550nm infrared (IR) sensors.
Phlux Technology is making strides in the world of 1550nm infrared sensors, with its Noiseless InGaAs Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) set to revolutionise applications such as rangefinders, LIDAR systems, and optical fibre test equipment. Founded in 2020 as a spinout from Sheffield University, Phlux is already shaking up the infrared sensing market.
White provided some background on the significance of infrared detectors, highlighting how they quietly power many of the world’s systems. “Infrared detectors are used in everything from optical fibre networks to face ID,” he explained. “By our calculations, about 500 million of them are sold each year for communications and sensing systems.” Despite their prevalence, the technology is often overlooked.
Phlux Technology has introduced a new type of infrared detector that offers much higher sensitivity than the conventional systems currently in use. This enhanced sensitivity is critical, as White elaborated: “It improves system performance, allowing vision systems to see further and communication systems to send more data, which means better Internet experiences for users.”
