Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical receptacle that can generate monitor light and can be also produced by integral molding, and an optical module having the optical receptacle. The optical receptacle has a first optical face on which light emitted from a light emitting element is incident, reflection surfaces that reflect the light to a light receiving element, a light splitting section that splits the light into monitor light heading for the light receiving element and signal light heading for an end face of an optical fiber, and a second optical face that emits the signal light toward the end face of the optical fiber. The light splitting section has a divided transmission surface and a divided reflection surface. The divided reflection surface is an inclining surface with respect to an optical axis of the light reflected by the reflection surfaces.

Compact optoelectronic modules are described and can be used in various electronic or other appliances, such as television units. For example, a light emitting device, a first sensor or sensor module such as an infra-red sensor or an infra-red receiver module, and a second sensor or sensor module such as an ambient light sensor or ambient light sensor module, can be integrated into a single compact optoelectronic module. Multiple such optoelectronic modules can be fabricated in a wafer-level process.

Pixel-level monolithic optical element configurations for uncooled infrared detectors and focal plane arrays in which a monolithically integrated or fabricated optical element may be suspended over a microbolometer pixel membrane structure of an uncooled infrared detector element A monolithic optical element may be, for example, a polarizing or spectral filter element, an optically active filter element, or a microlens element that is structurally attached by an insulating interconnect to the existing metal interconnects such that the installation of the optical element substantially does not impact the thermal mass or thermal time constant of the microbolometer pixel structure, and such that it requires little if any additional device real estate area beyond the area originally consumed by the microbolometer pixel structure interconnects.
Abstract:
An optical sensor for detecting motion or movement in an area of interest and a method of operation is provided. The system includes a CMOS sensor having an array of pixels that captures images in an area of interest. The system monitors the average pixel value for the array to define a first state. If the average pixel value changes beyond a defined threshold, the system defines a second state. For each change in state, a signal is generated. In one embodiment, the optical sensor is used with a meter having a dial with an indicator. The optical sensor generates a signal each time the indicator passes through the area of interest to allow for the remote monitoring of a consumable commodity.

The optical signals transmitted by the first lens set are reflected by the first sidewall. Most of the reflected optical signals are transmitted to the optical fibers via the second lens set, and a small remaining portion of optical signals are reflected by the bottom surface to the optical sensors.
