A semiconductor device for emitting frequency-adjusted infrared light includes a lateral emitter structure and a lateral filter structure. The lateral emitter structure is configured to emit infrared light with an emitter frequency distribution. Further, the lateral filter structure is configured to filter the infrared light emitted by the lateral emitter structure so that frequency-adjusted infrared light is provided with an adjusted frequency distribution. The frequency range of the adjusted frequency distribution is narrower than a frequency range of the emitter frequency distribution. Further, a lateral air gap is located between the lateral emitter structure and the lateral filter structure.
Abstract:
A photoacoustic gas sensor device for analyzing gas includes an emitter module and a pressure-sensitive module. The emitter module is arranged on a carrier substrate and emits light pulses. The pressure-sensitive module is arranged on the carrier substrate within a reference gas volume. The reference gas volume is separated from a volume intended to be filled with a gas to be analyzed. Further, the pressure-sensitive module generates a sensor signal indicating information on an acoustic wave caused by light pulses emitted by the emitter module interacting with a reference gas within the reference gas volume. Additionally, the emitter module is arranged so that light pulses emitted by the emitter module reach the reference gas volume after crossing the volume intended to be filled with the gas to be analyzed.
