Graphene and quantum dots put in motion a CMOS-integrated camera that can see the invisible

(ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences) ICFO develops the first graphene-based camera, capable of imaging visible and infrared light at the same time. The camera will be useful for many applications such as night vision, food inspection, fire control, vision under extreme weather conditions, among others.The imaging system is based on the first monolithic integration of graphene and quantum dot photodetectors with a CMOS read-out integrated circuit. This allows for low-cost mass-production.
