    Abstract: Light detection devices and corresponding methods are provided. The devices include a reaction structure to contain a reaction solution and at least one reaction site that generates light emissions in response to incident excitation light after treatment with the reaction solution. The devices also include a plurality of light sensors and device circuitry. The devices further include a plurality of light guides extending toward at least one corresponding light sensor from input regions that receive the excitation light and the light emissions from at least one corresponding reaction recess. The light guides comprise a first filter region that filters the excitation light and permits the light emissions of a first wavelength to pass to the at least one corresponding light sensor, and a second filter region that filters the excitation light and the permits light emissions of a second wavelength to pass to the at least one corresponding light sensor.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a gonioradiometer for the direction-dependent measurement of at least one lighting or radiometric characteristic variable of an optical radiation source (2), having: an apparatus for moving a radiation source (2) during a measurement operation about a first axis (31) and about a second axis (32) that is perpendicular to the first axis (31); a measuring wall (5) exhibiting homogeneous reflection, on which the light from the radiation source (2) is reflected; and a locationally fixed and immovably arranged camera (7) having an optical unit (8) and a two-dimensional sensor chip (100). The camera (7) is arranged such that it captures light reflected on the measuring wall (5), wherein the reflected light is imaged by the optical unit (8) of the camera (8) onto the sensor chip (100) of the camera (7), and wherein the sensor chip (100) records measurement values as the radiation source (2) is rotated during a measurement operation, which measurement values indicate the lighting or radiometric characteristic variable substantially on a spherical surface about the radiation centroid of the radiation source (2). The invention furthermore relates to a method and a gonioradiometer for the direction-dependent measurement of at least one lighting or radiometric characteristic variable of an optical radiation source (2), in which provision is made for at least two fixedly installed sensors (1, 100) to be used which provide measurement values simultaneously during a measurement.

    Abstract: An imaging system may include several different types of pixels that are each configured to detect different characteristics of light received at the imaging system. An imaging system may include image sensing pixels that detect the wavelength and intensity of the light, direction sensing pixels that detect the directionality of the light, polarization sensing pixels that detect a polarization state of the light, and diffractive wavelength separation pixels that detect multiple different wavelength components of the light. One or more pixels of the different types may be arranged in a pixel cluster. A pixel cluster that includes different pixel types may detect spatially correlated information for multiple characteristics of the light. Multiple pixel clusters may he arranged in a pixel array that generates an image based on spatially correlated information for the different characteristics of the light.
