摘要： A sky sensor device for measuring direct normal illuminance (DNE) value is described. One method controls a camera sensor to capture a series of exposure-bracketed images having a first dynamic range and generate an image from the series of exposure-bracketed images, the image having a second dynamic range higher than the first dynamic range. The method controls an illuminance sensor to measure a global illuminance value. The method determines a global horizontal diffuse value based on at least the image. The method determines a direct normal illuminance (DNE) value using the global illuminance value and the global horizontal diffuse value.

摘要： A problem to be solved is to make plural Ge PDs uniform in sensitivity by heating based on the Ge PDs with heaters photocurrent measurements taken by a current monitor, and thereby curb deterioration in a common-mode rejection ratio. A photodetector according to the present invention is a germanium photodetector (Ge PD) that uses germanium or a germanium compound in a light absorption layer, the photodetector including two or more Ge PDs placed to receive an input differential signal; a current monitor adapted to measure photocurrents of the two or more Ge PDs; resistors adapted to heat the respective Ge PDs; voltage sources connected to the respective resistors and capable of controlling voltage values independently of each other, wherein the voltage sources are connected with the current monitor, and the voltage sources manipulate voltages applied to the heaters such that current values output by the two or more Ge PDs will match each other.

摘要： An excimer bulb assembly including an excimer bulb and a pass filter such that the excimer bulb assembly does not emit substantial UV radiation in wavelengths longer than 231 nm, 232 nm, 233 nm, 234 nm or 235 nm. The wavelengths are measured at an incident angle of zero (0) degrees to the filter plane. The pass filter is preferably constructed of a plurality of layers of hafnium oxide, and most preferably constructed of less than seventy five (75) layers of hafnium oxide. The excimer bulb, pass filter, and two electrical connectors may be adapted to form a cartridge which may be adapted to swivel along its main axis. The cartridge may further include a smart chip. The smart chip may retain and store information regarding the assembly and preferably retains hours of use of the excimer bulb.

摘要： A light sensing module includes a substrate, a light sensing unit, a first light-transmissive component, and a light shielding layer. The light sensing unit is disposed on the substrate to sense an intensity of a working light beam, and has an upper light receiving surface and a lateral surface perpendicular to the upper light receiving surface. The first light-transmissive component covers the light sensing unit, and has a first refractive index between a refractive index of the light sensing unit and a refractive index of air. The light shielding layer surrounds the lateral surface and is covered by the first light-transmissive component.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to an image sensor. The image sensor includes a substrate and a photodetector in the substrate. The image sensor further includes an absorption enhancement structure. The absorption enhancement structure is defined by a substrate depression along a first side of the substrate. The substrate depression is defined by a first plurality of sidewalls that slope toward a first common point and by a second plurality of sidewalls that slope toward a second common point. The first plurality of sidewalls extend over the second plurality of sidewalls.
