An imaging device includes a light splitting unit which splits first light from a subject into second light and third light, first and second imaging units, and an arithmetic unit. The first light includes the second light having infrared light and at least one of green light and blue light, and the third light having red light or the green light. The first imaging unit includes a first and a second light reception regions. The first light reception region generates at least one of the group consisting of a B signal according to the blue light and a G signal according to the green light. The second light reception region generates an IR signal according to the infrared light. The arithmetic unit generates a visible light image signal from the R signal, the G signal, and the B signal and generates an infrared light image signal from the IR signal.

A photoelectric conversion element is realized in which the movement direction of electrons in the element changes according to the wavelength of light to be converted. A photoelectric conversion unit includes an active layer on which light to be converted is incident, an intermediate layer that is arranged on the active layer on a side opposite to the side on which the light to be converted is incident, and a reflection layer that is arranged so as to oppose the active layer with the intermediate layer interposed therebetween. The active layer includes a plasmonic material, which is a material in which plasmon resonance occurs due to a reciprocal action with the light to be converted. The intermediate layer has both a semiconductor property and transparency with respect to the light to be converted. The reflection layer has reflectivity with respect to the light to be converted.

The present invitation relates to an optical radiation measurement method based on light filter units, comprising the steps of: 1) providing characteristic filter units and correction light filter units in front of detection units to obtain multiple measured response values of an object to be detected; and, 2) selecting one or more sampling regions within a waveband to be detected, and calculating, according to a corresponding simultaneous expression/equation system of the measured response values, a spectral power distribution within the waveband to be detected. In this method, by introducing a small number of correction light filter units, the spectral power distribution within the entire waveband to be detected can be obtained without using a large number of narrow waveband color filters. In addition, a light radiation measurement apparatus is disclosed.

An etalon is provided with a fixed substrate and a movable substrate opposed to the fixed substrate. The fixed substrate is provided with a first bonding surface to be bonded to the movable substrate via a bonding film and a first electrode surface on which a part of the first electrode is formed. The movable substrate is provided with a second bonding surface to be bonded to the first bonding surface via the bonding film and a second electrode surface on which a part of the second electrode is formed. In the state in which the fixed substrate and the movable substrate are bonded to each other with the bonding film, the first electrode formed on the first electrode surface and the second electrode formed on the second electrode surface have contact with each other.

Methods, apparatus and systems that relate to a low-cost reconfigurable polarimetric imaging are described. One example polarization imaging system includes a lens positioned to receive light reflected from one or more objects, and a spectral-polarization filter positioned at an aperture plane of the lens to filter the light received by the lens. The polarization imaging system can further include a sensor positioned to detect the filtered light from the spectral-polarization filter to form a polarization image of the one or more objects. The spectral-polarization filter comprises a first array of multiple spectral filters and a second array of multiple polarizers.
