      Hybrid photodiodes promise cost-effective short-wave IR imaging
      A combination of organic and inorganic nanoscale materials, along with solution processing, enables a tunable imager for short-wave infrared imaging. The growing interest in short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) imagers is related to the increasing number of applications in this particular spectral region. Wavelengths between the silicon bandgap limit of about 1.1 and 2 µm are of commercial interest because of the low water absorption in this spectral region. Photodiodes for the SWIR are usually made

About 2.5 million of these cases cannot be treated or controlled through medication alone. Since pharmacological therapies have limited effectiveness, radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has emerged as the prominent approach for treating a broad range of arrhythmias. However, during the procedure physicians have no direct visualization of intra-cardiac structures, nor do they have a means to measure successful lesions. Recognizing this problem, researchers at Case Western Reserve University began ...
