    Abstract: An image sensor includes a function layer including a photoelectric conversion region containing a plurality of semiconductor-type carbon nanotubes; a transparent electrode that collects first electric charges that are positive electric charges or negative electric charges, the positive electric charges or the negative electric charges being generated in the photoelectric conversion region upon entry of light; a first collection electrode that collects second electric charges having a polarity opposite to the first electric charges among the positive electric charges and the negative electric charges; a second collection electrode that collects the second electric charges; a first control electrode that controls movement of the second electric charges toward the first collection electrode; a second control electrode that controls movement of the second electric charges toward the second collection electrode; and an electric charge accumulator in which the second electric charges collected by the first collection electrode are accumulated.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a pixel electrode, a counter electrode, a first quantum dot that includes a first core which generates first signal charge and a first shell, a second quantum dot that includes a second core which generates second signal charge and a second shell. In a case where the potential difference between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode is a first potential difference, the first signal charge does not pass through the first shell and is held in the first core and the second signal charge passes through the second shell and is collected by the pixel electrode. In a case where the potential difference between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode is a second potential difference which is larger than the first potential difference, the first signal charge passes through the first shell and is collected by the pixel electrode.

    Abstract: A photoelectric conversion element includes: a first electrode; a second electrode; and a photoelectric conversion layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and containing semiconducting carbon nanotubes and a first material that functions as a donor or an acceptor for the semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The semiconducting carbon nanotubes have light absorption characteristics including a first absorption peak at a first wavelength, a second absorption peak at a second wavelength shorter than the first wavelength, and a third absorption peak at a third wavelength shorter than the second wavelength. The first material is transparent to light in at least one wavelength range selected from the group consisting of a first wavelength range between the first wavelength and the second wavelength and a second wavelength range between the second wavelength and the third wavelength.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes: pixels arranged one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally, each of the pixels including an electrode that is electrically connected to the other pixels, a charge capturing unit that is separated from the other pixels, and a photoelectric conversion layer that is located between the electrode and the charge capturing unit, the photoelectric conversion layer being continuous among the pixels. The photoelectric conversion layer contains semiconductor carbon nanotubes, and one of a first substance and a second substance, the first substance having an electron affinity larger than that of the semiconducting carbon nanotubes, the second substance having a ionization energy smaller than that of the semiconductor carbon nanotubes.

    Abstract: A laser device includes a first optical comb laser, a second optical comb laser having a repetition frequency different from the first optical comb laser, a detection unit that detects interfering light between light output from the first optical comb laser and light output from the second optical comb laser and a control circuit. The control circuit controls at least one of a first CEO frequency, which is a carrier-envelope offset frequency of the first optical comb laser, or a second CEO frequency, which is a carrier-envelope offset frequency of the second optical comb laser, on the basis of output of the detection unit and thus changes a difference frequency, which is a difference between the first CEO frequency and the second CEO frequency.

    Abstract: An imaging system includes: a first light source that emits first light having a spectrum including discrete first frequency components arranged at first frequency intervals; a second light source that emits second light having a spectrum including discrete second frequency components arranged at second frequency intervals, the second frequency intervals being different from the first frequency intervals; a mixing optical system that mixes the first light and the second light to generate third light including at least one optical beat the intensity of which changes at a beat frequency expressed by the difference between at least one of the discrete first frequency components and at least one of the discrete second frequency components; an imaCCging element having a variable sensitivity in an exposure period; and a control circuit that changes the sensitivity of the imaging element at the beat frequency of the at least one optical beat.
