Abstract: An image sensor includes polarizing filters and spectral filters that provide on-chip simultaneous full Stokes polarization parameters (both linear and circular polarization) and multi/hyper spectral imaging. A polarizing filter polarizes incident light into a predetermined linear direction. The light-polarizing filter includes a wire grid and an array of phase-modulating nanostructures. The wire grid includes at least one wire that includes a series of metal-insulator-metal wire structures. The array of phase-modulating nanostructures is formed on the wire grid and changes a phase of the incident light a predetermined amount. A phase-modulating nanostructure is a high-dielectric-index nanostructure that changes of incident light based on a first width and a second width of the phase-modulating nanostructure in which the first width is perpendicular to the second width.

Abstract: A monolithic semiconductor chip defines a plurality of subarrays of optical detector regions, wherein each subarray of optical detector regions includes a corresponding plurality of optical detector regions and wherein each subarray of optical detector regions has the same relative spatial arrangement of optical detector regions as each of the other subarrays of optical detector regions. A multi-spectral optical sensor comprises the monolithic semiconductor chip, a plurality of optical filters, and a plurality of lens elements, wherein each optical filter is aligned between a corresponding lens element and a corresponding subarray of optical detector regions such that light which is incident on any one of the lens elements along a direction of incidence converges through the corresponding optical filter onto a corresponding one of the optical detector regions of the corresponding subarray of optical detector regions, which corresponding one of the optical detector regions depends on the direction of incidence. Such a multi-spectral optical sensor may be used to measure spectral information relating to different parts or sectors of a scene captured by an image sensor or a camera. A multi-spectral optical system and an image sensing system are also disclosed which comprise the multi-spectral optical sensor.

Abstract: A method for calibrating an image sensor begins by illuminating a portion of the image sensor with an input light spectrum, where the input light spectrum includes light of known wavelength and intensity. The method continues by sampling an output for each optical sensor of the image sensor, where each optical sensor is associated with one or more optical filters and where each optical filter being associated with a group of optical filters of a plurality of groups of optical filters. Each optical filter of a group of optical filters is configured to pass light in a different wavelength range and at least some optical filters in different groups of the plurality of groups of optical filters are configured to pass light in substantially a same wavelength range. The method then continues by comparing a sampled output for each optical sensor of the plurality of optical sensors with an expected output and generating a calibration factor for each of at least a subset of the plurality of optical sensors and storing the generated calibration factors in memory.

Abstract: Systems and methods spectrally and radiometrically calibrate an optical spectrum detected with a color-image sensor of an optical spectrometer. When the color-image sensor includes a Bayer filter, the red-peaked, green-peaked, and blue-peaked spectral responses of the color filters forming the Bayer filter may be used to identify unique spectral signatures in the red, green, and blue color channels. These spectral signatures may be used to associate calibration wavelengths to the pixel locations of the color-image sensor where the spectral signatures are observed. A fitted model may then be used to associate a wavelength to each pixel location of the color-image sensor. These systems and methods account for translational shifts of the optical spectrum on the color-image sensor induced by optical image stabilization, and thus may aid optical spectrometry utilizing a digital camera in a smartphone or tablet computer.

Abstract: A device (1) for determining the concentration of a gas component is configured with a radiation source (30) for radiating (31) light as a light emission in an infrared wavelength range. Two detector arrays (52, 62) with two detector elements (50, 60) are configured suitably for detecting the light emission generated by the radiation source (30) in two detector arrays (52, 62). Two filter elements (51, 61) are associated with the detector elements (50, 60). The two detector elements (50, 60) are oriented in relation to the radiation source, so that a range of overlap (65) is obtained due to the two detector arrays (52, 62). The range of overlap (65) causes attenuations in the propagation of light, which may be due to gas molecules or moisture (400). The attenuations in the propagation of light affect both detector elements (50, 60) and are compensated concerning the determination of the concentration.
