"Accessing the SWIR with a low-cost technology for consumer electronics will unleash the potential of this spectral range with a huge range of applications including improved vision systems for automotive industry (cars) enabling vision and driving under adverse weather conditions," says Gerasimos Konstantatos. "To the best of our knowledge, the photodiodes reported here have for the first time realized solution processed, non-toxic shortwave infrared photodiodes with figures of merit on par with other heavy-metal containing counterparts," ... "These results further support the fact that Ag2Te quantum dots emerge as a promising RoHS-compliant material for low-cost, high-performance SWIR photodetectors applications." #quantumtechnology #research #opticalphysics https://lnkd.in/gxzJnaP3

Our new Levitated and Trapped Accurate microSystems (LeviTAS) Disruption Opportunity aims to lay the tech foundation to provide warfighters long-duration navigation accuracy on handheld devices without GPS. LeviTAS will take on a key tech challenge: removing noise by levitating an approximately sugar cube-sized mass inside the approximate volume of a Rubik’s cube: https://lnkd.in/ewDZrkSs A primary source of noise and bias-drift in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors today is the mechanical spring’s anchor to the substrate. LeviTAS will perform a fundamental investigation to explore the feasibility of removing the spring anchor and instead levitating and trapping a mass about the size of a sugar cube inside a volume about the size of a Rubik’s cube. Traditional approaches to levitated systems have either achieved heavy mass with very small bandwidth, or atom-sized masses with large bandwidth, making such MEMS devices impractical for use as inertial sensors. LeviTAS aims to break this mass times bandwidth limitation in existing systems by using advances in transducers, materials, and exploring novel architectures to simultaneously achieve heavy mass and high bandwidth in a compact form factor. LeviTAS is part of DARPA’s Disruptioneering effort designed to rapidly explore bold, high-risk ideas with the goal of accelerating scientific discovery.
