    Abstract: A small infrared sensor has a wide infrared light-receiving area (viewing angle), high electromagnetic shielding characteristics, and excellent electromagnetic-wave resistance characteristics. In the infrared sensor, supporting portions are disposed at four corners of a substantially rectangular opening in a package. The supporting portions support an optical filter, disposed so as to cover the opening, at positions that are lower than an upper end of an inner peripheral wall defining the opening. While the optical filter is supported by the supporting portions as a result of inserting a portion of a surface side of the optical filter facing the supporting portions into the opening, the optical filter is secured to the package. The optical filter and the package are joined and secured, and electrically connected to each other through a conductive adhesive.

    Abstract: A high time-resolution ultrasensitive optical detector, using a planar waveguide leakage mode, and methods for making the detector. The detector includes a stacking with a dielectric substrate, a detection element, first and second dielectric layers, and a dielectric superstrate configured to send photon(s) into the light guide formed by the first layer. The thicknesses of the layers is chosen to enable a resonant coupling between the photon(s) and a leakage mode of the guide, the stacking having an absorption resonance linked to the leakage mode for a given polarization of the photon(s).

    Abstract: A fiber optic interrogator includes a broadband optical source, at least one beam splitter directing output of the optical source to an array of fiber optic gratings, at least one linear transmission or reflection filter, at least one optical receiver and at least one amplifier associated with each receiver. In one aspect of the invention, a linear transmission filter is used to convert the change in center wavelength of a grating reflectivity spectrum to a change in intensity, which is proportional to the change in the grating central wavelength. In another aspect of the invention, a pair of opposite-sloped linear transmission filters are utilized to normalize the received and filtered reflections with respect to total optical power. In another aspect of the invention, the optical source is pulsed, and return pulses from each fiber optic grating to be measured are sampled by the interrogator at different times. In another aspect of the invention, the source driver randomizes ripple phase versus wavelength to reduce wavelength measurement error. In another aspect of the invention, active closed-loop circuits are added to the receiver amplifiers to stabilize the amplifier output. In yet another aspect of the invention, a temperature-controlled compensating array of fiber optic gratings is interrogated each time the measurement array of gratings is interrogated. In still another aspect of the invention, a fast reset analog integrator is added to the amplifier stage(s) to improve the signal detection threshold. In another aspect of the invention, the wavelength measurement is compensated for the effects of one grating shading another.

    Abstract: Multifunctional optical sensor, comprising a matrix of photodetectors of the CCD or CMOS type, having a sensitive area divided into sub-areas, each of which, individually or combined with others, is dedicated to a specific function of monitoring the scene or measuring environmental parameters. The optical sensor comprises a matrix of microlenses, each of which is set to focus the radiation coming from a portion of solid angle on the associated photodetector or cluster of mutually contiguous photodetectors. Each function is associated to a single microlens or to a single subgroup of mutually contiguous microlenses or to multiple, not mutually contiguous microlenses or to multiple, not mutually contiguous subgroups of microlenses. The angular separation between the central directions of the portions of solid angle subtended by adjacent photodetectors or adjacent clusters of photodetectors is not constant within the matrix.

    Abstract: A photoelectric converter comprising a resin layer that absorbs infrared light cuts out unnecessary infrared light, while the photoelectric converter has a problem that the resin layer also reduces the transmission of light in the visible range. A photoelectric converter improving the problem comprises a semiconductor substrate (2) on which photoelectric conversion elements are formed, a color filter (8) provided on the semiconductor substrate (2), and a support base (21) bonded to the color filter (8), wherein an interference filter (11) comprised of multiple thin layers of dielectric material laminated together and reflecting infrared light is provided to the support base (21). As a result, light attenuation can be minimized while infrared light is cut, and the usage efficiency of light can be increased. A photoelectric converter adjusted to the luminous efficiency of the human eye can be obtained by adjusting the light transmittance characteristics of the color filter (8) to the luminous efficiency of the human eye.
