An optical projection device for a display such as augmented reality glasses. The optical system includes a planar optical guide; at least two input optics; at least two collimation elements, each being associated with an input optics, and directly located on a face of the planar optical guide; and conjugation device, arranged to conjugate in twos an input optics and the associated collimation element. The invention provides a wide field and compact offset projection device.

A method for estimating the image depth map of a scene, includes the following steps: providing (E) an image, the focus of which depends on the depth and wavelength of the considered object points of the scene, using a longitudinal chromatic optical system; determining (E) a set of spectral images from the image provided by the longitudinal chromatic optical system; deconvoluting (E) the spectral images to provide estimated spectral images with field depth extension; and analyzing (E) a cost criterion depending on the estimated spectral images with field depth extension to provide an estimated depth map.

A 3D imaging device is comprised of a photodetector matrix, a layer of material fixed on a face of the photodetector matrix, the layer of material being capable of absorbing or reflecting light, an opening being formed in said layer of material at each photodetector, a layer of insulating material fixed on said layer of material capable of reflecting or absorbing light, the layer of insulating material having a face surrounding, in the body thereof, a set of G waveguides, each waveguide of the set of waveguides being positioned vertically in relation to said face, opposite an opening, the heights of the different waveguides, considered in relation to the face of the layer of insulating material, defining N distinct levels, N being a whole number greater than or equal to 2.

3D imaging device and method for manufacturing same

A method for controlling directly and in real time positioning of a biological element on a zone of a support, in which the biological element is labeled with a tracer that emits a light radiation and the zone of the support is located in a layer of a material capable of trapping the light radiation. The biological element is positioned on the zone of the support. The intensity of the light radiation trapped in the layer is measured. The positioning of the biological element is determined by comparing the intensity thus measured with at least one reference value. The above operations can be carried out successively or simultaneously. A device can apply the method to the positioning of one or more biological elements on one or more zones of a support.

A method for separation of particles with different sizes. The method introduces radiation in a waveguide, coupled to a second guide in a coupling area, the radiation entraining all particles towards the coupling area, and separates the particles as they pass into the coupling area.

Object separation device using optical method

A method for sorting particles, including: marking the particles to modify their optical index, placing the particles on a waveguide of a support, and injecting light radiation into the waveguide, the injecting causing displacement of particles on the waveguide and separation of the particles.

Particle sorting method

A method and a device, using a system of plural cavity resonators, enabling to measure the light absorption or diffusion of biological samples. A measurement of low absorption or diffusion can be achieved and for example be applied for measuring the hybridization of DNA strands.

Method and device for measuring the absorption or light diffusion of biological elements

A method for concentrating particles, including: placing the particles close to and/or on at least one waveguide of a support, and injecting light radiation into the waveguide causing grouping of particles into one or plural clusters on the waveguides.

Particle concentration method

The invention relates to a sample support designed to support a sample which is to be detected and/or analyzed by a photothermal detection method using an irradiation pump beam irradiating the sample and a detection and/or analysis probe beam. It comprises a substrate supporting a stack of thin dielectric layers forming a Bragg mirror on which the sample will be supported, the stack of thin dielectric layers being used to reflect the pump beam that reaches it. The invention also relates to a device for detection and/or analysis of a sample by a photothermal method, the said device comprising a sample support according to the invention, a means of lighting the sample supported by the said support and supplying a pump beam, a means of detection and/or measurement of the absorption or reflection of the pump beam by the sample when it is illuminated by the said illumination means. Finally, the invention relates to a particular application of the said device.
