First Sensor is launching a new generation of high-accuracy capacitive silicon inertial sensors aimed at applications in the fast-growing market of smart structural monitoring. The new sensors offer the resolution and low noise density required for recording vibrations or changes of inclination in wind turbines, bridges, and high-rise buildings, thereby uncovering risks in the structure […]
Solid-state silicon photomultiplier advantages
First Sensor extends its range of optical sensors with innovative solid-state silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for the detection of ultra-low light levels down to single photons. Compared to conventional photomultiplier tubes, SiPMs offer low operating voltage, temperature stability, immunity to magnetic fields and a much smaller size for easy system integration. The detectors are optimized for […]
