    Abstract: According to an aspect, a UV radiometer is provided. The UV radiometer includes a sensor assembly and a sensor controller. The sensor assembly includes a UV sensor element and a temperature sensing component configured to perform a thermal adjustment of a sensed UV input from the UV sensor element to produce a compensated UV signal. The sensor controller includes a signal conditioning circuit configured to receive the compensated UV signal from the sensor assembly and produce a conditioned and compensated UV signal. The sensor controller also includes a communication interface configured to transmit the conditioned and compensated UV signal to a UV process controller.

    Abstract: A light-to-digital converter (2) comprises a light-to-current converter (10); a current integrator (4) with an integrator output (30) resettable to a baseline level; and a counter (18) with a digital output (26), wherein the light-to-current converter (10) is switchably connectable as a positive integration input to the current integrator (4), for, during a light-collecting phase (404-406), integrating a current from the light-to-current converter (10), the integrator output (30) starting from the baseline value and ending at a value to be digitized; a reference current source (14) is switchably connectable as a negative integration input to the current integrator (4), for, during a counting phase (406-408) subsequent to the light-collecting phase (404-406), integrating a reference current from the reference current source (14), the integrator output (30) starting from the value to be digitized and ending at the baseline value, the time spent integrating the reference current corresponding to the value to be digitized; and the counter (18) is configured for measuring the time.

    Abstract: A feedback module is formed with modules comprising a schedule hardware register module and a computation circuit module. The schedule hardware register module receives a modulation signal and a sensing signal, and schedules and temporarily stores signal values of the sensing signal in successive half modulation cycles in sequence by taking a half modulation cycle as a time interval to obtain a temporarily stored sensing signal which has been scheduled. In each half modulation cycle, the computation circuit module calculates a differential signal value of the temporarily stored sensing signal between the previous two half modulation cycles, and outputs the differential signal value as a signal value of the feedback signal. The schedule hardware register module temporarily stores the feedback signal, and the feedback module feedbacks the feedback signal to an integrated optics chip of the photoelectric sensing system integrated optics chip.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing on-board electromagnetic radiation sensing using beam splitting in a radiation sensing apparatus. The radiation sensing apparatuses can include a micro-mirror chip including a plurality of light reflecting surfaces. The apparatuses can also include an image sensor including an imaging surface. The apparatuses can also include a beamsplitter unit located between the micro-mirror chip and the image sensor. The beamsplitter unit can include a beamsplitter that includes a partially-reflective surface that is oblique to the imaging surface and the micro-mirror chip. The apparatuses can also include an enclosure configured to enclose at least the beamsplitter and a light source. The light source can be attached to a printed circuit board. Optionally, the enclosure can include an inner surface that has an angled reflective surface that is configured to reflect light from the light source in a direction towards the beamsplitter.
