From vision technology to optoelectronics, Sarnoff’s scientists were responsible for pioneering advancements that changed the world. Fiber-optic communications became possible due to our work with lasers — increasing their lifespan, enabling new applications, and revolutionizing telecommunications. Silicon IP developed at Sarnoff spanned from IC fabrication to solar electricity generation and our work with the space program produced microwave devices for satellite communications. We adapted CCD technology to commercial applications such as camcorders and digital still cameras.
