    摘要: The inventors disclose a new high performance optical sensor, preferably of nanoscale dimensions, that functions at room temperature based on an extraordinary optoconductance (EOC) phenomenon, and preferably an inverse EOC (I-EOC) phenomenon, in a metal-semiconductor hybrid (MSH) structure having a semiconductor/metal interface. Such a design shows efficient photon sensing not exhibited by bare semiconductors. In experimentation with an exemplary embodiment, ultrahigh spatial resolution 4-point optoconductance measurements using Helium-Neon laser radiation reveal a strikingly large optoconductance property, an observed maximum measurement of 9460% EOC, for a 250 nm device. Such an exemplary EOC device also demonstrates specific detectivity higher than 5.06×1011 cm√Hz/W for 632 nm illumination and a high dynamic response of 40 dB making such sensors technologically competitive for a wide range of practical applications.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a technique for performing medical imaging on a region of interest (ROI) wherein information theoretic signal receivers are used to enhance the detection and monitoring of pathologies such as angiogenesis and muscular dystrophy. Examples of information theoretic signal receivers that can be used in the practice of the invention include Shannon entropy signal receivers, continuous limit Shannon entropy signal receivers, Renyi entropy signal receivers, specific heat analog signal receivers, and thermodynamic energy analog signal receivers. The contrast enhancement provided by contrast agents, either targeted contrast agents or bubble-based contrast agents, is enhanced through the use of such information theoretic signal receivers. Further still, the contrast agents can be heated to further enhance visualization with information theoretic signal receivers.
