Abstract: The invention relates to an optical detector (110) for an optical detection, in particular, of radiation within the infrared spectral range, specifically, with regard to sensing at least one optically conceivable property of an object (112). More particular, the optical detector (110) may be used for determining transmissivity, absorption, emission, reflectance, and/or a position of at least one object (112). Further, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing the optical detector (110) and to various uses of the optical detector (110). The optical detector (110) comprises —an optical filter (114) having at least a first surface (116) and a second surface (118), the second surface (118) being located oppositely with respect to the first surface (116), wherein the optical filter (114) is designed for allowing an incident light beam (120) received by the first surface (116) to pass through the optical filter (114) to the second surface (118), thereby generating a modified light beam (122) by modifying a spectral composition of the incident light beam (120); —a sensor layer (128) comprising a photosensitive material (130) being deposited on the second surface (118) of the optical filter (114), wherein the sensor layer (128) is designed to generate at least one sensor signal in a manner dependent on an illumination of the sensor layer (128) by the modified light beam (122); and —an evaluation device (140) designed to generate at least one item of information provided by the incident light beam (120) by evaluating the sensor signal. The optical detector (110) constitutes an improved simple, cost-efficient and, still, reliable detector for detecting optical radiation, especially within the infrared spectral range, specifically with regard to sensing at least one of transmissivity, absorption, emission and reflectance. Hereby, the optical detector (110) is capable of effectively removing stray light as far as possible.

Abstract: A simple and still reliable detector for an accurate determination of a position of at least one object in space is provided. The detector comprises a longitudinal optical sensor (114) having a stack of at least two individual pin diodes (130, 130′) arranged between at least two electrodes (132, 132′). Upon illumination of the sensor region by an incident light beam (136), a longitudinal sensor signal is generated. The longitudinal sensor signal, given the same power of illumination, is dependent on a beam cross-section of the light beam (136). The at last two individual pin diodes (130, 130′) have different spectral sensitivities in order to enable the determination of a distance between the object and the detector by light beams in different spectral ranges, e.g. by light beams in the visible spectral range and in the infrared spectral range.
