Abstract: An illumination and detection architecture that illuminates a target for detecting a material of interest. The architecture includes an illumination component that illuminates the target using a predetermined light wavelength known to energize and thereby cause a detectable change in the desired chemical and/or compounds associated with the target in a particular way. The change is then captured by an image capture system and processed to determine the presence or absence detected of the desired material of interest at the target.

Abstract: A planar nanospectrometer is manufactured as a single chip that uses diffraction structures, which are combinations of numerous nano-features placed in a predetermined configuration. The manufacturing method consists of creating a two-dimensional analog-generating function A(x,y), binarizing the two-dimensional analog-generating function A(x,y) by creating a binary function B(x,y), simplifying the binary function B(x,y) by assigning the value of 1 to areas exceeding a predetermined threshold and 0 to all the remaining areas in order to convert the binary function B(x,y) to discrete generating function C(x,y), and lithographically fabricating the aforementioned binary features by etching as a discrete generating function C(x,y) to a calculated depth on a planar waveguide.

Abstract: The present invention pertains generally to a detection means for indicia provided by a primary device, and more particularly, to a detection sensor assembly adapted to measure at least one indicator moiety influenced by changing gaseous environments. A detection sensor assembly performs to collect and respond to changing gaseous environments in real-time, conveying that information to a user of the detection sensor assembly sufficiently quickly and accurately such that the user can respond to the changing gaseous environments in a timely manner. The detection sensor assembly operates using an incident receiver in the form of an indicator sensor. An indicator moiety responsive to particular elements or compounds of interest in a gaseous environment is positioned proximal to the indicator sensor such that changes in the indicator moiety are captured by operation of the indicator sensor.
