Abstract: A light sensor having first and second photodetectors and a current mirror is disclosed. The first photodetector receives a light signal and generates a light current proportional to the light intensity received by the first photodetector and a dark current that is independent of the light intensity. The second photodetector is connected in series with the first photodetector at a first node. The second photodetector has a covering that prevents light from reaching the second photodetector. The second photodetector generates a current equal to the dark current. The first photodetector is connected to a power source and the second photodetector is connected to an output node. The current mirror is connected to the first node and the output node and generates an output current that is proportional to the light current through the output node when the output node is connected to an external circuit.

Abstract: A photoelectric converter comprising a resin layer that absorbs infrared light cuts out unnecessary infrared light, while the photoelectric converter has a problem that the resin layer also reduces the transmission of light in the visible range. A photoelectric converter improving the problem comprises a semiconductor substrate (2) on which photoelectric conversion elements are formed, a color filter (8) provided on the semiconductor substrate (2), and a support base (21) bonded to the color filter (8), wherein an interference filter (11) comprised of multiple thin layers of dielectric material laminated together and reflecting infrared light is provided to the support base (21). As a result, light attenuation can be minimized while infrared light is cut, and the usage efficiency of light can be increased. A photoelectric converter adjusted to the luminous efficiency of the human eye can be obtained by adjusting the light transmittance characteristics of the color filter (8) to the luminous efficiency of the human eye.

Abstract: In order to reduce the exposure of a detector surface 180 of a photo-multiplier 160 to stray charged particles, an off-axis structure is interposed between the resonant structure and the detector surface of the photo-multiplier. By providing the off-axis structure with at least one reflective surface, photons are reflected toward the detector surface of the photo-multiplier while at the same time absorbing stray charged particles. Stray particles may be absorbed by the reflective surface or by any other part of the off-axis structure. The off-axis structure may additionally be provided with an electrical bias and/or an absorbing coating for absorbing stray charged particles.
