Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation detector includes an InP substrate having a first surface opposite a second surface; a first InGaAs electromagnetic radiation absorber stacked on the first surface and configured to absorb a first set of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths; a set of one or more buffer layers stacked on the first InGaAs electromagnetic radiation absorber and configured to absorb at least some of the first set of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths; a second InGaAs electromagnetic radiation absorber stacked on the set of one or more buffer layers and configured to absorb a second set of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths; and an immersion condenser lens formed on the second surface and configured to direct electromagnetic radiation through the InP substrate and toward the first InGaAs electromagnetic radiation absorber and the second InGaAs electromagnetic radiation absorber.

Abstract: This relates to sensor systems, detectors, imagers, and readout integrated circuits (ROICs) configured to selectively detect one or more frequencies or polarizations of light, capable of operating with a wide dynamic range, or any combination thereof. In some examples, the detector can include one or more light absorbers; the patterns and/or properties of a light absorber can be configured based on the desired measurement wavelength range and/or polarization direction. In some examples, the detector can comprise a plurality of at least partially overlapping light absorbers for enhanced dynamic range detection. In some examples, the detector can be capable of electrostatic tuning for one or more flux levels by varying the response time or sensitivity to account for various flux levels. In some examples, the ROIC can be capable of dynamically adjusting at least one of the frame rate integrating capacitance, and power of the illumination source.

Abstract: This relates to systems and methods for measuring a concentration and type of substance in a sample at a sampling interface. The systems can include a light source, optics, one or more modulators, a reference, a detector, and a controller. The systems and methods disclosed can be capable of accounting for drift originating from the light source, one or more optics, and the detector by sharing one or more components between different measurement light paths. Additionally, the systems can be capable of differentiating between different types of drift and eliminating erroneous measurements due to stray light with the placement of one or more modulators between the light source and the sample or reference. Furthermore, the systems can be capable of detecting the substance along various locations and depths within the sample by mapping a detector pixel and a microoptics to the location and depth in the sample.
