Wavelength multiplexing optimizes gas sensors
- News
- Research
Researchers at Leti have come up with an innovative integrated wavelength multiplexer design that will speed the development process for single- and multiple-gas sensors, resulting in competitively-priced and energy-efficient products offering high performance. The key? The sensors’ lasers produce only those wavelengths needed to detect the gases targeted. The design was originally intended for a […] >>

“Pseudo-supercondenser” balances power and energy requirements
- News
- Research
A “pseudo-supercondenser” capable of delivering either high power in just a few seconds or a supply of electricity over several hours has been developed by two teams of researchers at INAC. The development hinges on silicon nanowires implanted on silicon using a CVD process that ensures full control over the nanowires’ length, diameter, and number. […] >>
