Images of Utah's Salt Lake Valley captured in visible light (left) and shortwave infrared (SWIR; right) illustrate how SWIR imaging can cut through haze.

Short- and mid-wavelength infrared nanowire photodiodes are uncooled

Nanowires of InAs and InAsSb on an indium phosphide (InP) substrate form room-temperature SWIR or MWIR photodiodes suitable for focal-plane arrays.

A still from a video (link below) shows polymer microdisks being transferred to glass via laser catapulting. Laser catapulting can also be used to fabricate an array of microlenses directly on top of a photodetector array (inset), useful for directing more light onto the most sensitive parts of the detector.

Laser catapulting is fast, low-cost way to create microlens arrays
