Abstract: A sensor system, device and method for generating a wireless signal in response to a sensed illumination. A sensor is disclosed having: a photosensitive element; a device that converts a sensed illumination detected by the photosensitive element into a corresponding impedance response; and a wireless signal generator that generates a wireless output based on a characteristic of the corresponding impedance response, wherein the wireless output correlates to the sensed illumination.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and controlling optical energy. A system is disclosed having: an optical system with a surface for receiving an optical beam; a coating applied to the surface, wherein the coating includes an optical nanoporous dielectric thin film having an array of tilted nanoscale rods configured to reflect a scatter beam at a determined angle and pass a remaining portion of the optical beam to the surface; a satellite detector arranged to detect an intensity of the scatter beam; and a control system that receives and processes scatter beam data from the satellite detector to determine an intensity of the optical beam impacting the surface of the optical system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for lighting an environment are disclosed. A lighting system includes at least one light source and a control system in communication with the at least one light source. The light source is configured to emit light having a plurality of emission characteristics. The control system is configured to randomly vary at least one of the emission characteristics of the light emitted by the light source. A method for lighting an environment includes emitting light from a light source, and randomly varying at least one of the emission characteristics of the emitted light.
