    摘要: The invention relates to a detector (110) for optical detection comprising a circuit carrier (130) designed to carry at least one layer, wherein the circuit carrier (130) is or comprises a printed circuit board (132); a reflective layer (138), the reflective layer (138) being placed on a partition of the circuit carrier (130), wherein the reflective layer (138) is designed to reflect the incident light beam (120), thereby generating at least one reflected light beam (124); a substrate layer (114), the substrate layer (114) being directly or indirectly adjacent to the reflective layer (138), wherein the substrate layer (114) is at least partially transparent with respect to the incident light beam (120); a sensor layer (122), the sensor layer (122) being placed on the substrate layer (114), wherein the sensor layer (122) is designed to generate at least one sensor signal in a manner dependent on an illumination of the sensor layer (122) by the incident light beam and the reflected light beam (124); and an evaluation device (150) designed to generate at least one item of information by evaluating the sensor signal; and at least two individual electrical contacts (148, 148′) contacting the sensor layer (122), wherein the electrical contacts (148, 148′) are designed to transmit the sensor signal via the circuit carrier (130) to the evaluation device (150). The detector (110) constitutes a detector for detecting optical radiation, especially within the infrared spectral range, specifically with regard to sensing at least one of transmissivity, absorption, emission and reflectivity, being capable of avoiding a loss of incident light.

    摘要: Described herein is a detector for determining a position of at least one object. The detector includes at least one sensor element having a matrix of optical sensors, the optical sensors each having a light-sensitive area, wherein the sensor element is configured to determine a reflection image of the object. The detector also includes an evaluation device configured to select a reflection feature of the reflection image, and determine a distance estimate of the selected reflection feature of the reflection image by optimizing at least one blurring function fa, wherein the distance estimate is given by a longitudinal coordinate z and an error interval ±ε. The evaluation device is adapted to determine at least one displacement region in at least one reference image corresponding to the distance estimate, and to match the selected reflection feature with at least one reference feature within the displacement region.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an optical sensor, a detector comprising the optical sensor for an optical detection of at least one object, a method for manufacturing the optical sensor and various uses of the optical sensor and the detector. Furthermore, the invention relates to a human-machine interface, an entertainment device, a scanning system, a tracking system, a stereoscopic system, and a camera. The optical sensor (110) comprises a layer (112) of at least one photoconductive material (114), at least two individual electrical contacts (136, 136′) contacting the layer (112) of the photoconductive material (114), and a cover layer (116) deposited on the layer (112) of the photoconductive material (114), wherein the cover layer (116) is an amorphous layer comprising at least one metal-containing compound (120). The optical sensor (110) can be supplied as a non-bulky hermetic package which, nevertheless, provides a high degree of protection against possible degradation by humidity and/or oxygen. Moreover, the cover layer (116) is capable of activating the photoconductive material (114) which results in an increased performance of the optical sensor (110). Further, the optical sensor (110) may be easily manufactured and integrated on a circuit carrier device.
