Abstract: Optopair for use in sensors and analyzers of gases such as methane, and a fabrication method therefor is disclosed. It comprises: a) an LED, either cascaded or not, having at least one radiation emitting area, whose spectral maximum is de-tuned from the maximum absorption spectrum line of the gas absorption spectral band; and b) a Photodetector, whose responsivity spectral maximum can be either de-tuned from, or alternatively completely correspond to the maximum absorption spectrum line of the absorption spectral band of the gas. Modeling the LED emission and Photodetector responsivity spectra and minimizing the temperature sensitivity of the optopair based on the technical requirements of the optopair signal registration circuitry, once the spectral characteristics of the LED and Photodetector materials and the temperature dependencies of said spectral characteristics are determined, provides the LED de-tuned emission and Photodetector responsivity target peaks respectively.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining reference samples, i.e. measuring reference targets (62) on a reference stage (61) during the generation of a mid-infrared (MIR) image without requiring that a sample specimen (16), being placed on a specimen stage (57) and imaged, be removed is disclosed. A tunable MIR laser (11) generates a light beam (18) that is focused onto the sample specimen on the specimen stage that moves the specimen in a first direction (33). An optical assembly includes a scanning assembly (31) having a focusing lens (55) and a mirror (56) that moves in a second direction (32), different from the first direction, relative to the specimen stage. A light detector (13) measures an intensity of light leaving the point on the specimen. A controller (39) forms an image from the measured intensity. The reference stage (61) is positioned such that the scanning assembly moves over the reference stage in response to a command so that the controller can also make a reference measurement.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for optical spectrometer detection using, for example, IR spectroscopy components and Raman spectroscopy components are described. For instance, a system includes a first electromagnetic radiation source configured to illuminate a sample with a first portion of electromagnetic radiation in a first region of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., an IR source) and a second electromagnetic radiation source configured to illuminate a sample with a second portion of electromagnetic radiation in a second substantially monochromatic region of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., a laser source). The system also includes a detector module configured to detect a sample constituent of a sample by analyzing a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation reflected from the sample associated with the first electromagnetic radiation source and a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation reflected from the sample associated with the second electromagnetic radiation source.

Abstract: A photoconductive device that includes a semiconductor substrate, an antenna assembly, and a photoconductive assembly with one or more plasmonic contact electrodes. The photoconductive assembly can be provided with plasmonic contact electrodes that are arranged on the semiconductor substrate in a manner that improves the quantum efficiency of the photoconductive device by plasmonically enhancing the pump absorption into the photo-absorbing regions of semiconductor substrate. In one exemplary embodiment, the photoconductive device is arranged as a photoconductive source and is pumped at telecom pump wavelengths (e.g., 1.0-1.6 μm) and produces milliwatt-range power levels in the terahertz (THz) frequency range.
