Abstract: A solution containing a target molecule and a reference molecule is illuminated to obtain Raman signals. An optical metasurface is used as a diffractive optical element to split the Raman signal from the target molecule and the Raman signal from the reference molecule. The target and reference Raman signals can be detected at different locations with different photodetectors, and the target molecule concentration in the solution is determined by comparing the target and reference Raman signals.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a first light sensor layer including light sensing cells configured to sense first light of an incident light and generate electrical signals based on the sensed first light, and a color filter array layer disposed on the first light sensor layer, and including color filters respectively facing the light sensing cells. The image sensor further includes a second light sensor layer disposed on the color filter array layer, and configured to sense second light of the incident light and generate an electrical signal based on the sensed second light. Each of the color filters includes a nanostructure including a first material having a first refractive index, and a second material having a second refractive index greater than the first refractive index, the first material and the second material being alternately disposed with a period.

Abstract: An image sensor includes an optical sensor layer including a plurality of light-sensitive cells configured to sense light to generate electrical signals, and a color filter array layer disposed on the optical sensor layer and including a plurality of color filters respectively facing the plurality of light-sensitive cells. Each of the plurality of color filters includes a nanostructure in which a first material having a first refractive index and a second material having a second refractive index higher than the first refractive index are arranged. The first material and the second material are alternatively positioned at an interval less than a central wavelength of a color of the color filter. Thus, a thin image sensor having good wavelength selectivity and suitable for obtaining high resolution images is provided.
