Planet82 Inc., a global leader of nanotechnology, announced today the first U.S. demonstration of its innovative and highly sensitive image sensor, Single Carrier Modulation Photo Detector (SMPD), which uses nanotechnology to enable cameras to take high resolution photos or video in the dark -- without a flash.
The world's first chip of its kind, Planet82's SMPD image sensor is 2,000 times more sensitive to light than other image sensors.
...
Current image sensors generally need hundreds of thousands of photons to perceive light. Planet82's SMPD image sensor is designed to perceive light using only a handful of photons. To make this possible, Planet82 applied the principles of quantum mechanics to produce thousands of electrons out of one photon.
