An aerosol-generating article includes a consumable section attached to a mouthpiece section. The mouthpiece section includes at least one inner tube having a plurality of light transmitting apertures extending over at least a length in the wall of the inner tube, the plurality being arranged along a circumference of the inner tube. The inner tube is arranged inside a wrapper that is made of a light-scattering material. An aerosol-generating system includes the aerosol-generating article and an aerosol-generating device having a cavity having an opening accessible at the outer body part and being configured to receive the aerosol-generating article. The aerosol-generating device includes at least one illumination system having at least one optical light source arranged to a side of the cavity. The aerosol-generating device also includes an optical reader system, having at least two detectors, for reading information provided by transmitted light by the array of apertures.

Aerosol-generating article and device for identifying a smoking article

The invention relates to an optoelectronic sensor for measuring the intensity and the direction of incidence of a light beam, the sensor being of the type comprising a matrix of pixels; an optical system designed to form a light spot on the matrix of pixels; and a signal process for determining the geometrical center of the light spot on the matrix, the signal processor constituted by two arrays of connections between the pixels of the matrix, substantially in radii and in concentric circles, the coordinates of the light spot on the matrix giving an image of the azimuth angle and of the elevation angle of the incident light beam, the device also including circuits associated with the two arrays of connections between the pixels to compute the azimuth and elevation coordinates respectively of the incident light beam.

The optical electric current sensor is composed of a birefringent light guide (2) coiled around an electric current conductor (1) and is characterized by a spatial modulation of the magnetic field or of the birefringence of the light guide, along the light guide, at a spatial period equal to a whole number of times the beat length of the guide.

Optical sensor for detecting an electric field via the Faraday effect

A method of coupling an optical fiber to an optoelectronic component including a substrate having an optical waveguide therein, the waveguide opening into a notch formed in or on a first face of the substrate, including the steps of pre-positioning the optical fiber in a groove of an optical fiber support, the groove terminating at a first face of the optical fiber support, positioning the fiber support such that the first face of the substrate and the first face of the fiber support are directly opposite each other, the first faces forming a gap therebetween, and positioning an end of the optical fiber to be in the notch such that the waveguide and the optical fiber are optically aligned.
