An innovative and very high-speed thermoelectric radiation sensor has been developed by the Latvian University (LU) Institute of Solid State Physics. It makes it possible to measure the intensity of infrared radiation, Latvian Television reported on January 12.
The new sensor will make it possible to produce more accurate equipment for laser surgery, welding, and laser engraving.
The sensor is based on unique material properties derived from very thin layers. The new product created in Latvia is patented and is also planned to be commercialized in the coming years.
