Artilux 3D time-of-flight NIR sensor

At CES 2020, Artilux will show its Explore Series, a wide spectrum 3D ToF (time-of-flight) sensor based on GeSi (germanium-on-silicon). Why is such an esoteric thing interesting? Because if you use a beam of light for a ToF 3D sensor, you have to be careful about what kind of light you use and how it will be impacted by the environment (sunlight to darkness), and in turn impact things and most of all people in its path. Operating at longer NIR (near-infrared) wavelengths, Artilux’s sensor can be used in the area of the spectrum that is more than 10 times
