Abstract: Described herein is an optical sensor, a detector including the optical sensor for an optical detection of at least one object, and a method for manufacturing the optical sensor. The optical sensor (110) includes



a substrate (120);
a photoconductive layer (112) applied to a first portion (116) of a surface (118) of the substrate (120); and
at least one electrode layer (124) applied to a second portion (126) of the surface (118) of the substrate (120).




The optical sensor (110) exhibits a linear current-voltage characteristic according to Ohm's law.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a detector array, a spectrometer system including the detector array and a method of using of the spectrometer system. The detector array includes a substrate; and a plurality of detector pixels applied to a surface of the substrate, where each detector pixel has a sensor region which is designated for receiving a partition of incident light, where each detector pixel is designated for generating a sensor signal depending on an intensity of the partition of the incident light received by the sensor region of the detector pixel, where at least two adjacent detector pixels share a single connection to a common electric potential, and where the sensor regions of at least two of the detector pixels differ with respect to each other by an area of the corresponding sensor region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical sensor, a detector comprising the optical sensor for an optical detection of at least one object, a method for manufacturing the optical sensor and various uses of the optical sensor and the detector. Furthermore, the invention relates to a human-machine interface, an entertainment device, a scanning system, a tracking system, a stereoscopic system, and a camera. The optical sensor (110) comprises a layer (112) of at least one photoconductive material (114), at least two individual electrical contacts (136, 136′) contacting the layer (112) of the photoconductive material (114), and a cover layer (116) deposited on the layer (112) of the photoconductive material (114), wherein the cover layer (116) is an amorphous layer comprising at least one metal-containing compound (120). The optical sensor (110) can be supplied as a non-bulky hermetic package which, nevertheless, provides a high degree of protection against possible degradation by humidity and/or oxygen. Moreover, the cover layer (116) is capable of activating the photoconductive material (114) which results in an increased performance of the optical sensor (110). Further, the optical sensor (110) may be easily manufactured and integrated on a circuit carrier device.
