Abstract: A frequency selective infrared (IR) photodetector having a predetermined frequency band. The exemplary frequency selective photodetector includes: a dielectric IR absorber having a first surface and a second surface substantially parallel to the first surface; an electrode electrically coupled to the first surface of the dielectric IR absorber; and a frequency selective surface plasmonic (FSSP) structure formed on the second surface of the dielectric IR absorber.

Abstract: A CMOS detector with pairs of interdigitated elongated finger-like collection gates includes p+ implanted regions that create charge barrier regions that can intentionally be overcome. These regions steer charge to a desired collection gate pair for collection. The p+ implanted regions may be formed before and/or after formation of the collection gates. These regions form charge barrier regions when an associated collection gate is biased low. The barriers are overcome when an associated collection gate is high. These barrier regions steer substantially all charge to collection gates that are biased high, enhancing modulation contrast. Advantageously, the resultant structure has reduced power requirements in that inter-gate capacitance is reduced in that inter-gate spacing can be increased over prior art gate spacing and lower swing voltages may be used. Also higher modulation contrast is achieved in that the charge collection area of the low gate(s) is significantly reduced.

Abstract translation: 具有交叉指状细长的指状集合门对的CMOS检测器包括产生可有意克服的电荷阻挡区域的p +注入区域。 这些区域将电荷引导到期望的收集门对以进行收集。 p +注入区域可以在形成收集栅极之前和/或之后形成。 当相关采集门被偏置为低电平时，这些区域形成电荷势垒区域。 当相关联的收集门高时，障碍被克服。 这些屏障区域将基本上将所有电荷转向偏向高的收集门，增强调制对比度。 有利地，所得到的结构具有降低的功率需求，因为栅极间电容被减小，因为可以使用栅极间间隔超过现有技术的栅极间隔，并且可以使用较低的摆动电压。 实现了较低的调制对比度，因为低栅极的电荷收集区域被显着地减少。

Abstract: A solar tracking system and method that use a shielding tube that admits solar radiation and has an absorptive inner surface for absorbing the solar radiation that is incident on it. The system has a photodetector for generating a signal related to an intensity of solar radiation at a distal end of the shielding tube and a scan unit for periodically executing a certain scan pattern in an elevation angle El and in an azimuth angle Az of the shielding tube. A processing unit in communication with the photodetector determines an on-sun orientation of the shielding tube based on a convolution of the signal obtained while executing the scan pattern with a trained convolution kernel. The on-sun orientation thus found can be used to update the orientation of one or more solar surfaces, e.g., reflective or photovoltaic surfaces.
