Extreme Quantum Tunneling Image Sensors

Siranga develops image sensors with unmatched performance

Siranga develops an entirely new kind of image sensing method and devices, photodetectors, and image sensors – collectively called quantum-tunneling imaging photodetectors (QTIP) for a broad range of applications from violet to visible light down to near infrared (NIR) as well as hyperspectral optical detection systems for scientific and industrial applications such as LIDAR.

The range of applications is extremely wide and spans everything from consumer camera modules through-to imaging systems in satellite Earth observation. The advantage of QTIP is the ultrafast imaging enabling real time monitoring, high sensitivity of the QTIP to low-light applications and the large spectral wavelength range with high sensitivity.

The combination of QTIP with hyperspectral filters enables fast real-time monitoring of food crops, vegetation, deforestation, human migrations, drought and greenhouse gas emissions. This entirely new technology will contribute to precision farming and digitally automated agriculture, spot detection of global problem areas and other critical applications contributing to alleviating societal and environmental problems.

We envisage next-generation wafer size ~Peta-pixel QTIP sensors for Satellite Earth observation.

Our advances fall into the category of “deep-tech”. Emergingfrom an idea and vision grounded in the laws of quantum physics. Our resonant quantum tunnelling based cross-grid photodetectors, capable of Tera-pixel imaging is an outstanding example of harnessing the profound and fundamental laws of nature to create instruments for the most practical use cases.
