    摘要: Multi-spectral filter elements and methods of formation are disclosed. Each multi-spectral filter element may include a plurality of sub-filters that are, in some embodiments, each adapted to respond to electromagnetic radiation within respective ones of a plurality of spectral bands. A method embodiment includes forming an optical cavity layer. Volume of the optical cavity layer can be reduced in at least N−1 number of spatial regions. The reducing may include a number of selective removal steps equal to the binary logarithm function Log2 N. In this example, each spatial region corresponds to a respective one of the plurality sub-filters. The plurality of sub-filters include at least N sub-filters. In particular embodiments, the respective ones of the plurality of spectral bands may be at least partially discrete with respect to each other.

    摘要: A broadband radiation detector includes a first layer having a first type of electrical conductivity type. A second layer has a second type of electrical conductivity type and an energy bandgap responsive to radiation in a first spectral region. A third layer has the second type of electrical conductivity type and an energy bandgap responsive to radiation in a second spectral region comprising longer wavelengths than the wavelengths of the first spectral region. The broadband radiation detector further includes a plurality of internal regions. Each internal region may be disposed at least partially within the third layer and each internal region may include a refractive index that is different from a refractive index of the third layer. The plurality of internal regions may be arranged according to a regularly repeating pattern.
