Near-infrared (NIR) sensors are commonly manufactured using III-V semiconductors, are expensive to produce, incompatible with standard CMOS fabrication and predominantly manufactured in the far east. This limits their usefulness and relegates them to low-volume markets.LoMaRe's patented invention detects NIR light in Si/CMOS-compatible materials with no rare earth components and production steps and can also be used on flexible substrates. This would allow this new type of sensor not only to be the cheapest on the market but also to be produced in the UK, building world-class domestic production, improving supply chain resilience, and lowering emissions.The new sensor also has high photon current efficiency in NIR, with very low response time, making it ideal for LIDAR, facial recognition, and high-speed data retrieval in fibre-optic cables, whilst allowing for much reduced fabrication cost and overall higher throughput in terms of manufacturability.LoMaRe's partnership with CPI develops the prototype into a commercial version that could revolutionise sensor manufacturing in the UK and transform several domestic and global industries.

近红外（NIR）传感器通常是使用III-V半导体制造的，生产昂贵，与标准CMOS制造不兼容，并且主要在远东地区生产。这限制了它们的实用性，并将其降级到小批量市场。洛杉矶专利的发明可检测到与si/cmos兼容的材料中的NIR光，没有稀土组件和生产步骤，也可以在柔性基板上使用。 This would allow this new type of sensor not only to be the cheapest on the market but also to be produced in the UK, building world-class domestic production, improving supply chain resilience, and lowering emissions.The new sensor also has high photon current efficiency in NIR, with very low response time, making it ideal for LIDAR, facial recognition, and high-speed data retrieval in fibre-optic cables, whilst allowing for much reduced fabrication cost and overall在制造性方面，越来越多的吞吐量。Lomare与CPI的合作伙伴关系将原型开发为商业版本，可以彻底改变英国的传感器制造，并改变多个国内和全球行业。
