  • Publication number: 20120112094
    Abstract: The present invention provides an optical detection system comprising an illumination unit and a detection unit. The illumination unit comprises two laser beams of two different wavelengths. One beam is used to excite targeted molecules in a sample to their excited states. The other beam is used to induce the excited molecules in the sample to generate a stimulated emission signal. The stimulated emission signal can be used for long-distance detection due to its coherent property. Its extraction from the detection unit can be realized by demodulating the second beam's intensity change.

  • Publication number: 20110068273
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radiation-detecting device and an associated detection method. The detection device includes a scintillation crystal and an avalanche photodiode. The surface of the scintillation crystal is coated with a high-reflection layer. When ionizing radiation irradiates the scintillation crystal, the crystal emits luminescence, which passes through or is reflected by the high-reflection layer at least once within the scintillation crystal before it is received by the avalanche photodiode, generating a detection signal.

  • Patent number: 6570904
    Abstract: The cavity of the invention has a pumping source, a ring cavity, a planar convex lens, an optical gain medium, and/or a nonlinear medium. The laser cavity is formed by two mirrors with the same curvature. The curving surfaces of the two mirrors are coupled by a manner of face to face, whereby a space is defined as the ring cavity. The planar-convex lens is located between the pump beam and the ring cavity to work together with the two mirrors of the ring cavity to focus the pump beam. The pumping light enters the ring cavity at a desired distance of d mm from the mirror axis. The laser light also enters the ring cavity in a propagating direction nearly parallel to the mirror axis. Due to the two curving surfaces of the two mirrors, the light beam is reflected back and forth to form the 3-D figure-“8” light path. The optical gain medium and the nonlinear medium are located between the two mirrors on the light path.
