Demultiplexing systems and methods are discussed which may be small and accurate without moving parts. In some cases, demultiplexing embodiments may include optical filter cavities that include filter baffles and support baffles which may be configured to minimize stray light signal detection and crosstalk. Some of the demultiplexing assembly embodiments may also be configured to efficiently detect U.V. light signals and at least partially compensate for variations in detector responsivity as a function of light signal wavelength.

Optical demultiplexing system

The present application disclosed various embodiments of improved performance optically coated semiconductor devices and the methods for the manufacture thereof and includes at least one semiconductor wafer having at least a first surface, a first layer of low density, low index of refraction optical material applied to at least the first surface of the semiconductor wafer, and a multi-layer optical coating applied to the first layer of low density, low index of refraction material, the multi-layer optical coating comprising alternating layers of low density, low index of refraction materials and high density, high index of refraction materials.

Performance optically coated semiconductor devices and related methods of manufacture

The present application disclosed various embodiments of improved performance optically coated semiconductor devices and various methods for the manufacture thereof and includes depositing a first layer of a low density, low index of refraction material on a surface of a semiconductor device, depositing a multi-layer optical coating comprising alternating layers of low density, low index of refraction materials and high density, high index of refraction materials on the coated surface of the semi-conductor device, selectively ablating a portion of the alternating multi-layer optical coating to expose at least a portion of the low density first layer, and selectively ablating a portion of the first layer of low density material to expose at least a portion of the semiconductor device.

A novel, cost effective optical filter is employed for photosensors used in ultraviolet-based water purification systems. Optically tuned to specifically eliminate the non-germicidal wavelength polychromatic emissions from mercury lamps, this unique optical filter approach significantly reduces the cost in manufacturing reliable water purification systems employing ultraviolet light.

Selectively tuned ultraviolet optical filters and methods of use thereof

The present invention provides for significantly improved ultraviolet optical filters. This new class of optical filters benefits from improved optical performance, extended physical longevity, high imaging quality of transmitted radiation, transmitted wavelength stability, and minimal autofluorescence. Preferred filters of the invention do not require any sealing from the ambient, are stable, and do not degrade over time and exposure to UV irradiation, and offer superior transmittance for use as bandpass filters.

High performance optical filters suitable for intense ultraviolet

The present invention provides multilayer ion plated coatings comprising a titanium oxide as well as methods for applying such coatings onto a variety of substrates. In particular, the invention provides ion plated transparent multilayer coatings comprising layers of titanium oxide (particularly TiO.sub.x, x.apprxeq.2) and materials of low refractive indices such as SiO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, MgO etc. Further provided are articles of manufacture comprising such multilayer coatings and novel deposition methods.
