Abstract:
An optoelectronic module includes a light guide arranged to receive light, such as ambient light or light reflected by an object. The light guide has a diffractive grating that includes multiple sections, each of which is tuned to a respective wavelength or narrow band of wavelengths. The module further includes multiple photosensitive elements, each of which is arranged to receive light diffracted by a respective one of the sections of the diffractive grating. The module can be integrated, for example, as part of a spectrometer or other apparatus for optically determining characteristics of an object.

Abstract:
A system and method for analyzing biological samples, such as dried human blood serum, to determine a disease state such as colorectal cancer (CRC). Using dried samples may hold potential for enhancing localized concentration and/or segmentation of sample components. The method may comprise illuminating at least one location of a biological sample to generate a plurality of interacted photons, collecting the interacted photons and generating at least one Raman data set representative of the biological sample. A system may comprise an illumination source to illuminate at least one location of a biological sample and generate at least one plurality of interacted photons, at least one mirror for directing the interacted photons to a detector. The detector may be configured to generate at least one Raman data set representative of the biological sample. The system and method may utilize a FAST device for multipoint analysis or may be configured to analyze a sample using a line scanning configuration.

Abstract:
A blazed grating, in particular of the microfabricated type, is disclosed as well as mode hop-free tunable lasers in which this grating is employed, and a process for fabricating gratings of this type. The grating lies in a general plane and comprises a plurality of elongate beams carrying mutually parallel respective reflection surfaces spaced apart from one another with a predefined pitch, each of these reflection surfaces having a normal direction inclined at a grating angle α to the normal direction of the general plane. Furthermore, the grating comprises a plurality of resilient suspension arms connected to the beams and intended to be fastened to a grating support. The suspension arms, the beams and their respective reflection surfaces define an assembly formed from a single part. A first pair of comb electrodes is provided for applying a mechanical force to this assembly, these being placed on a first side of the grating, along an axis transverse to the beams, and designed so as to allow the pitch of the grating to be modified in response to the application of the mechanical force. A second pair of electrodes placed on the opposite side from the first allows, in combination with the first pair, application of a displacement of the assembly, possibly without deforming it. It is thus possible to modulate the wavelength and/or the phase of a light beam with a device that is simple and inexpensive to fabricate and has a small footprint.
