To ensure only Rayleigh scattered light is measured, a cladding stripper is provided to remove any cladding light prior taking a reading with the photodetector.

An optical device (102) configured for concentrating light towards a target element (104) is provided. The optical device (102) comprises a waveguide element (106) configured for guiding light towards the target element (104), and a wavelength conversion element (108) configured for converting incoming light of a first wavelength into outgoing light of a second wavelength.

Abstract:
A UV radiation detector with a replaceable secondary window for that is easily replaced by an end user thereby increasing the accuracy of UV radiation measurements. The UV radiation detector with a replaceable secondary window generally includes a housing having a primary window, a UV radiation sensor within the housing to measure UV radiation passing through the primary window, a secondary window protecting the primary window from the fluid and a retainer member having an outer opening removably connectable to the housing to retain the secondary window. The secondary window can be easily replaced after becoming contaminated.
Abstract:
An integrated optical device includes a photo-detector (such as germanium) optically coupled to an optical waveguide. This photo-detector is deposited on the optical waveguide, and an optical signal propagating in the optical waveguide may be evanescently coupled to the photo-detector. In order to increase the absorption length of the photo-detector, a mirror (such as a distributed Bragg reflection grating) is included in the optical waveguide near the end of the photo-detector. This mirror reflects the optical signal back toward the photo-detector, thereby increasing the absorption of the optical signal by the photo-detector. In addition, absorption may be reduced by using electrical contacts that are electrically coupled to the photo-detector at locations where the optical mode of the optical signal is largely in the underlying optical waveguide, and by using a fingered metal layer to couple to the electrical contacts.
Abstract:
An infrared sensing strip includes a substantially linear substrate board, a receiver diode, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) linearly aligned along the linear substrate board. Each of the LEDs is operative to transmit in a different direction. The infrared sensing strip utilizes prismatic films arranged to refract light from each of the LEDs in different directions. In one embodiment, the receiver diode is positioned centrally on the linear substrate board, and includes at least four LEDs, with two of each being disposed on either side of the receiver diode. Four prismatic films each cover a respective one of the LEDs and are arranged to refract light from each respective LED in one of four different directions. The small scale of the infrared sensing strip enables various applications including a scroll control, volume control, a heart rate monitor and various transmit and receive features.
Abstract:
A detector has a frame, a window for allowing radiation to enter, outlook sensors for sensing radiation, a unit for processing outlook sensor signals and outlook mirrors that are shaped and mounted in the frame for reflecting radiation from outside detection zones onto the outlook sensor, some of which are mounted near the window such that they face each other. When the detector is installed and operated as intended, the perpendicular to the inner window surface in its centroid of the perpendicular projections of the mirror surfaces of the near-mounted mutually-facing outlook mirrors onto the inner window surface intersects the horizontal plane at floor level outside. Any sector of the horizontal plane around said perpendicular without the detection zones of the near-mounted mutually-facing outlook mirrors extends over 160° at most.
