Abstract: An infrared sensing strip includes a substantially linear substrate board, a receiver diode, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) linearly aligned along the linear substrate board. Each of the LEDs is operative to transmit in a different direction. The infrared sensing strip utilizes prismatic films arranged to refract light from each of the LEDs in different directions. In one embodiment, the receiver diode is positioned centrally on the linear substrate board, and includes at least four LEDs, with two of each being disposed on either side of the receiver diode. Four prismatic films each cover a respective one of the LEDs and are arranged to refract light from each respective LED in one of four different directions. The small scale of the infrared sensing strip enables various applications including a scroll control, volume control, a heart rate monitor and various transmit and receive features.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for forming an interference grating on a sample, the device comprising a laser emitting a light beam of wavelength λ, a beam splitter plate splitting the beam emitted by the laser into first and second beams (11, 14), the first beam (11) being deflected in a first direction, a first stationary deflection mirror for deflecting the first beam onto a point P of the sample at a first constant angle of incidence θ1, and at least one second stationary deflection mirror for deflecting the second beam along a final path (17) that reaches said point P of the sample at a second angle of incidence θ2 in order to form an interference grating on the sample at a pitch that depends on the angular difference θ between the first and second angles of incidence θ1 and θ2, the path of the second beam being characterized in that it includes a movable deflection mirror (7, 7′) to direct and deflect the second beam from a plurality of first points of impact (71) from which the second beam (15) is directed towards a plurality of second points of impact (82) on a said second mirror (8, M2), thereby forming a plurality of pairs, each comprising first and second points of impact (71, 82), each of which corresponding to a said final path (17) of the second beam having a different value of the angle θ2, so as to cause the value of the angle of incidence θ2 to vary and thus vary the angular difference θ, and in that the first points of impact (71) are arranged on a linear or parabolic path extending from an upstream end remote from the sample where it is spaced apart from the direction of the beam (10) that is emitted by the laser in a direction opposite to the first direction and thus away from the segment (12) of the first beam that impacts said point P of the sample (ECH), said linear or parabolic path being reentrant towards said segment (12) of the first beam on going towards a downstream end closer to the sample (ECH) so as to compensate at least in part for optical path length variations of the second beam for the pairs of first and second points of impact (71, 82), each of which corresponds to a respective value of the angular difference θ.

Abstract: A solar cell simulator that is cylindrically symmetrical to test photovoltaic devices that are flexible. A particular embodiment would be made from plexiglass or similar acrylic material. The present invention produces a spectrum that simulates the spectral distribution of solar light that we observe on the Earth's surface. The simulator would be comprised of a tubular pulsed light source, a pulsed power supply, a tubular light spectrum filter, an IV electrical measurement station, a cylinder-shaped module holder to place the flexible large-area module during the measurement. All cylinders share the same central axis. This maintains radial uniformity of all light intensity and can be used for electrical measurements (IV curves under illumination) of flexible large-area PV modules.

Abstract: A light fixture, using one or more solid state light emitting elements utilizes a diffusely reflect chamber to provide a virtual source of uniform output light, at an aperture or at a downstream optical processing element of the system. Systems disclosed herein also include a detector, which detects electromagnetic energy from the area intended to be illuminated by the system, of a wavelength absent from a spectrum of the combined light system output. A system controller is responsive to the signal from the detector. The controller typically may control one or more aspects of operation of the solid state light emitter(s), such as system ON-OFF state or system output intensity or color. Examples are also discussed that use the detection signal for other purposes, e.g. to capture data that may be carried on electromagnetic energy of the wavelength sensed by the detector.
