Various embodiments provide a method for fabricating a couplable electro-optical device. In an example embodiment, the method includes fabricating at least one raw electro-optical device on a substrate; applying lens material to a working stamp; aligning the substrate and the working stamp; pressing the substrate onto the lens material until the distance between the substrate and the working stamp is a predetermined distance; and curing the lens material to form an integrated lens secured to the at least one electro-optical device on the substrate. An anti-reflective coating layer may be optionally applied on top of the molded lens. The couplable electro-optical device may be incorporated into a receiver, transmitter, and/or transceiver using passive alignment to align the couplable electro-optical device to an optical fiber.

A Concentrating PhotoVoltaic (CPV) system employs an inflatable non-imaging CPC concentrator to concentrate sunlight to realize extremely low cost and a synergistically combined photonic crystal waveguide solar spectrum splitter and perovskite integrated circuitry solar cell package to realize ultra-high conversion efficiency of solar radiation. The corporation of band gap variable perovskite materials into the integrated circuit solar cell not only reduces the cost and raises the efficiency of the photovoltaic package as the receiver, but also addresses the unstable issue of the perovskite materials through sealing the perovskite materials into package to prevent moisture, reducing the heat generation to low the temperature, and filtering the UV light and channel to other elemental solar made of broader band gap photovoltaic materials.

An optical detector includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit that receives a reflected light reflected by a measurement object. The light receiving unit has a detection element and a condenser lens system that collects the reflected light to the detection element. The condenser lens system has a plurality of lenses. The condenser lens system has a temperature change factor that increases the optical power at a high temperature than at a low temperature, and a chromatic aberration factor that decreases the optical power at a long wavelength than at a short wavelength. The optical power of each of the plurality of lenses is adjusted based on a correspondence between a change in temperature and a shift amount of the peak wavelength, so that the chromatic aberration factor balances with the temperature change factor within a predetermined wavelength range.

A camera module, a molded circuit board assembly, a molded photosensitive assembly and manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The camera module includes a molded base which is integrally formed with a circuit board through a molding process, wherein a photosensitive element may be electrically connected on the circuit board and at least a portion of a non-photosensitive area portion of the photosensitive element is also connected by the molded base through the molding process. A light window is formed in a central portion of the molded base to provide a light path for the photosensitive element, wherein a cross section of the light window is configured to have a trapezoidal or multi-step trapezoidal shape which has a size increasing from bottom to top to facilitate demoulding and avoiding stray lights.

A security light having optional connection to multiple power supplies. The lighting controller can sense the appropriate connected supply and automatically connect to three different power supplies which include house voltage connection through a typical junction box, a remote solar charging station, and on-board batteries that can be used as a third backup power supply. Additional implementations include power outage detection and backup illumination along with low voltage power supply from a mounting structure.

A dynamic concentrator system having a concentrator lens, a tracker platform and a receiver. In an embodiment, the concentrator lens is configured to receive an incoming light at an entrance angle a and concentrate the light beam on a focus spot. The tracker platform has a detector optical aperture and one or more actuators. The detector optical aperture can be configured to receive the concentrated light beam. The actuators can move the detector optical aperture in a spatial plane to a location of the focus spot. The receiver has a detector optically coupled to the detector optical aperture to receive the concentrated light beam from the detector optical aperture.

A collimator includes: a transmission pattern transmitting light; and a non-transmission layer disposed on at least one side surface of the transmission pattern. The non-transmission layer includes a low reflective metal material.

An optical numerical computation method obtains operands that have respective values, and modulates light sources to output light at amplitudes proportional to the operands. The light output for a given operand depends on whether the operand is positive or negative. The positive operands are output at wavelengths different from the negative operands. For operands that have multiple digits, the digits are separately treated so that the least significant digits are modulated with light sources at one frequency, and the most significant digits in two-digit numbers are modulated at another frequency, with positive and negative operands modulated at different frequencies. The light from the light sources enters a light collection cavity where it is sensed with sensors that generate resultant outputs at values indicative of the sensed light value.

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.
