Abstract: A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) pixel structure is provided. The SPP pixel structure includes a coupling structure that couples the probing light into the SPP mode by matching the in-plane wave vector by changing the refractive index of the coupling structure using thermo-optic effects to vary the coupling strength of the probing light into the SPP mode. An absorber layer is positioned on the coupling structure for absorbing incident infrared/thermal radiation being detected.

Abstract: Remote sensing in an environment having temperatures greater than 300° C., using an optical fiber having a core (10), a cladding (20), and a metallic protective coating (30) on the cladding to protect a surface of the cladding, the cladding having a diameter greater than 150 μm, and a thickness of at least 50 μm. The larger diameter cladding means stress from the metallic protective layer can be reduced, giving lower optical loss and better hydrogen protection. A metal conduit (330) encapsulates the sensing fiber, and a pump evacuates the conduit to reduce hydrogen seepage. Ceramic splice protectors are used. OTDR is used to determine differential loss at different locations along the fiber. A reflective element at the far-end of the fiber eases calibration.

Abstract: An infrared thermometer includes a probe and an infrared sensor. The probe with an infrared target absorbs thermal radiation to provide a substantially consistent source of infrared radiation and an aperture for preventing contamination of the infrared target while permitting the transmission of thermal radiation to the target. The infrared sensor is configured for sensing infrared radiation from the infrared target. The infrared target is positioned within the probe such that it absorbs thermal radiation that comes from the aperture and thereafter emits thermal radiation to the infrared sensor.

Abstract: Detection and identification of minute quantities of condensed or solid state materials with significantly improved performance over the present state-of-the-art, comprises illuminating a small target particle with an appropriate laser radiation at a wavelength that is strongly absorbed by the target. The resulting temperature rise is observed by monitoring the increased blackbody radiation from the sample. An unambiguous determination of the target compound or the target material composition can be achieved through the use of a tunable laser that generates an absorption fingerprint of the target.

Abstract: A thermal-type infrared image sensing device and method of producing a thermal-type infrared image sensing device are provided. The thermal-type infrared image sensing device includes pixel elements that are two-dimensionally arranged on a semiconductor substrate. Each pixel element includes a detector that detects temperature, an infrared-light absorber that absorbs incident infrared light and that converts the light into heat, and a support that supports the detector apart from the semiconductor substrate. The thermal-type infrared image sensing device also includes reference-pixel elements that are arranged adjacent to and along a row of the pixel elements. Each of the reference pixels generates a reference signal, and each of the reference pixels includes a structure that shields a detector from incident infrared light. The detectors of the pixel elements and the reference-pixel elements are each connected to the semiconductor substrate through the respective supports.
