Abstract
An optical sensor system may include a light source. The optical sensor system may include a concentrator component proximate to the light source and configured to concentrate light from the light source with respect to a measurement target. The optical sensor system may include a collection component that includes an array of at least two components configured to receive light reflected or transmitted from the measurement target. The optical sensor system may include may a sensor. The optical sensor system may include a filter provided between the collection component and the sensor.
Claims20
An optical sensor system, comprising:
- a light source;
- a concentrator component configured to concentrate light from the light source with respect to a measurement target;
- a collection component configured to receive light reflected or transmitted from the measurement target, wherein the collection component includes an array of at least two components,
- wherein the concentrator component is one or more of:
- attached to the light source, or
- closer to the light source than the collection component;
- a sensor, and
- wherein the concentrator component has a rectangular conical geometry;
- and
- a filter provided between the collection component and the sensor.
A device, comprising:
- a light source;
- a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) proximate to the light source and configured to concentrate light from the light source with respect to a measurement target,
- wherein the CPC has a rectangular conical geometry;
- a collection component including an array of at least two components configured to receive light reflected or transmitted from the measurement target, wherein the light is emitted via the CPC;
- an optical sensor;
- and
- a filter provided between the collection component and the optical sensor.
A user device, comprising:
- an optical sensor system, comprising:
- a light source;
- a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) configured to concentrate light from the light source with respect to a measurement target,
- wherein the CPC has a rectangular conical geometry;
- and
- an array configured to receive light reflected or transmitted from the measurement target,
- wherein the light is emitted via the CPC, and
- wherein the CPC is one or more of:
- attached to the light source, or
- closer to the light source than the array.
