Researchers in Scotland have been given nearly half a million pounds to try to improve digital camera images.
The team, lead by scientists at the University of Glasgow, are developing small nanostructures that would be used on light detecting image sensors. These new hi-tech chips would be used in camera equipment to produce sharper and more colourful images.
The researchers are using a phenomenon called surface plasmon resonance, which is an effect exhibited by certain metals when light waves fall onto their surfaces. In digital cameras, this is the metal film used on microchip image sensors – known as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) – that detect light waves and convert them into digital signals.
