An optical device may include an optical body having first and second opposing sides, and passageways extending between the first and second opposing sides. The optical device includes a mirror layer carried by the optical body adjacent the second opposing side, thermally conductive fingers extending in the passageways, and a heatsink carried by the optical body adjacent the first opposing side and coupled to the thermally conductive fingers.

Optical device with thermally conductive fingers and related method

A detector is for identifying chemicals in a sample. The detector may include a photodetector comprising SiC semiconductor material and configured to have an acceptor energy band of range E&#x2212;&#x394;Eto E+&#x394;E. The SiC semiconductor material may be doped with a dopant to exceed a threshold dopant concentration level. The photodetector may be configured to receive fluorescence information from the sample.

Gas detector with hyperdoped SiC semiconductor material and related methods

A distributive transmissometer, comprising a series of light sources that illuminate and map out a volume of space to be sampled to a one-dimensional space, a light detector, the one-dimensional space being mapped to the light detector such that spatial dust density distribution of the volume to be sampled can be determined; and, a lens for focusing light emitted by the light sources toward the light detector.
