    Abstract: A target detecting device includes: an optical scanner including a mirror; and a casing. The target detecting device further includes a light shielding portion configured to partition the casing into a light projecting space through which projected light travels and a light receiving space through which reflected light travels and configured to block light. The mirror has a first reflecting region which reflects the projected light and a second reflecting region which reflects the reflected light, the first reflecting region and the second reflecting region being located in an identical reflecting surface. The light shielding portion includes: a movable light shielding portion provided on the mirror so as to separate the first reflecting region and the second reflecting region and configured to be movable in conjunction with the mirror; and a fixed light shielding portion fixed to the casing so as to surround the movable light shielding portion.

    Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for fabricating and operating photodetector circuitry. In one aspect, a photon detector system includes: (1) a first superconducting wire having a first threshold superconducting current; (2) a second superconducting wire having a second threshold superconducting current; (3) a resistor coupled to the first wire and the second wire; (4) current source(s) coupled to the first wire and configured to supply a current that is below the second threshold current; and (3) a second circuit coupled to the second wire. In response to receiving light at the first wire, the first wire transitions from a superconducting state to a non-superconducting state. In response to receiving light at the second wire while the first wire is in the non-superconducting state, the second wire transitions to a non-superconducting state, redirecting the first current to the second circuit.

    Abstract: A system for transporting high luminous intensity light from at least one luminaire to a destination area is disclosed. The system may include a light guide that carries light from the luminaire to a plurality of sensors located on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The PCB may be attachable anywhere the luminaire is located. While collecting light rays originating from the luminaire and delivering them to the light sensors, the light guide may perform a plurality of operations to modify the characteristics of the collected light rays. The plurality of operations performed by the light guide on the light rays may support the accuracy and longevity of the light sensors on the PCB. Further, the light guide allows the sensor subsystem to be proximal to or distant from the luminaire.

    Abstract: An integrated optical tap monitor takes the form of a highly-reflective outer coating disposed over the active region of an associated photodetector. The coating is of a material that allows for a majority of the impinging optical signal to be re-directed into an output path, while passing a small portion of the signal into the photodetector's active region for monitoring purposes. The integrated configuration is small enough to be housed within a standard TO can, and additional optical components (filters, attenuators, etc.) may be co-located with the integrated tap monitor. By virtue of incorporating the monitoring function with a reflective surface, the integrated tap monitor may be substituted for a turning mirror at any place along a signal path and provide the benefit of power monitoring while also performing signal re-direction.
