A photo-spintronic conversion element combining optical, electronic, and magnetic elements can respond at an ultra-high speed of 20 picoseconds (20 × 10⁻¹² s) while using light with a wavelength of 800 nm. That’s more than 10x faster than conventional semiconductor-based photo detectors; TDK calls it the world’s first spin photo detector.

What’s the sensing aspect of quantum technology, and what potential it promises within the quantum computing domain? How can engineers create production-ready quantum sensing products? Where do quantum-enabling sensing technologies stand today? These questions are gaining attention as the quantum computing revolution steadily makes headway, also thrusting quantum sensing advances into the limelight.

While over 70% of today’s high-voltage power converters use a ‘two-stage’ topology, a single-stage bi-directional switch (BDS) converter claims to achieve up to 10% cost savings, 20% energy savings, and up to 50% size reductions.

A new depth sensor claims to address the limitations of standard indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) sensors by enabling depth sensing up to 30 meters, or four times more than standard iToF sensors, all within a smaller form factor. The Hyperlux ID family of depth sensors released by onsemi does that by offering high-precision long-distance measurements and 3D imaging of fast-moving objects in real time.
