Abstract: An integrated optical detector and diffractive optical element includes a sensing element and a diffractive optical element. The sensing element and diffractive optical element are placed directly into the path of the beam emitted by the light source. The sensing element monitors the power of a light source, without diverting or reflecting light away from its beam. The diffractive optical element consists of a plurality of thin layers of optically transmissive material stacked on top of one another. An additional layer at the base of the diffractive optical element acts as a sensing element that is responsive to the power of an incident light beam. The response of the sensing element to light includes photoresistive, photovoltaic, and thermal responses. The sensing element may also be incorporated as part of the optical element. The optical element used with the sensing element may also be refractive or reflective.

Abstract: A photo semiconductor element is covered by a cap with an incident window permitting incident light to penetrate through a translucent member. The photo semiconductor element detects a quantity of incident light penetrating through the translucent member of the incident window. The translucent member of the incident window is made of a material capable of suppressing the transmitting light quantity of incident light components having wavelengths less than 700 nm and larger than 900 nm. A photoelectric current output of the photo semiconductor element is controlled by the incident light penetrating through the translucent member of the incident window. The photo semiconductor element operates in multiple ways as a thermosensing sensor and a photosensing sensor.
