A COMPACT CAMERA THAT SEES THROUGH SNOW AND FOG

In his laboratory at Polytechnique Montral, Professor Oussama Moutanabbir's team is developing a type of bionic vision: an in-house created photodetector made of semiconductors integrated into silicon chips. It could soon impact various technologies, including autonomous vehicle navigation systems, optical and data communication, thermophotovoltaics, and night vision cameras. It's a device that literally sees through snow and fog!
