TDK claims the world’s first “Spin Photo Detector,” a Photo-Spintronic conversion element that operates at a 20 picoseconds using light with a wavelength of 800 nm.
This is more than 10X faster than conventional semiconductor-based photo detectors, making it a game-changer for the next generation of AI applications.
Key highlights of the Spin Photo Detector include:
– **Ultra-High Speed**: Capable of responding at 20 picoseconds, enabling rapid data transmission.
– **Broad Light Detection**: Effectively detects both near-infrared and visible light, expanding its application potential.
– **Energy Efficiency**: Designed to improve data processing speed while reducing power consumption, addressing critical needs as AI evolves.
The technology has applications in AR/VR smart glasses and high-speed image sensors, while its strong cosmic-ray resistance positions it well for aerospace applications.
