Demand for high-performance short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensing in AI and machine vision will drive an explosion of activity in the quantum dot (QD) market this year, claims infrared QD technology experts Quantum Science.
QDs – nanoscale semiconductor particles tuneable to different wavelengths of light – are making waves in sectors including food inspection, autonomous vehicles, medical devices, artificial intelligence, and more as industry players increasingly seek to expand their access to infrared data.
The rise of cheaper alternatives to Indium-Gallium-Arsenide (InGaAs) sensors has already disrupted the multi-billion-dollar market for SWIR capable electronics, with machine vision businesses already seeing the benefits of affordable low pixel pitch and high-resolution imaging first hand.
Nanoco Group PLC (LON:NANO) leads the world in the research, development and large-scale manufacture of heavy metal-free nanomaterials for use in displays, lighting, vertical farming, solar energy and bio-imaging.
