摘要:
Example embodiments of a near-Infrared (NIR) sensor system and methods for detecting changes in polarization are generally described herein. Other example embodiments may be described and claimed. In some example embodiments, the sensor system includes a transmit optical element to transmit optical signals with a polarization, and a receive optical element to receive optical signals with an orthogonal polarization. The transmit and receive optical elements may include nano-imprinted wire-grid polarizers configured to polarize at least infrared IR wavelengths. In some example embodiments, birefringent filter layers may be used to induce an additional polarization state on the transmitted and received optical signals.

Apparatus and methods for using a tunable optical source in safety curtain applications provide for enhanced operation of the safety curtain. In an embodiment, a safety curtain includes a transmit unit and a receive unit to operate as the safety curtain, where a single tunable light source generates different wavelengths of light and a single detector is used to detect the generated light.

Apparatus and methods for using infra-red light provide for enhanced operation in camera applications. In an embodiment, a safety camera includes an optical filter that provides an input to an imager from received light having wavelengths in the infra-red spectrum. Output from the imager can be analyzed to determine safety hazard events in an area viewed by the safety camera.
