"Breakthrough Photon Detection Technique Unveiled by Researcher"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org
University of Central Florida researcher Debashis Chanda has developed a new technique for detecting photons by modulating the frequency of an oscillating circuit, using a special phase-change material. This advancement could lead to more precise and efficient technologies in various fields, including medical imaging, communication systems, scientific research, and security measures. The technique offers a high sensitivity, low-cost, and uncooled infrared detection scheme that can be easily integrated with electronic readout circuitry, without the need for complex hybridization.
