  • Patent number: 11231323
    Abstract: A time-resolved hyper-spectral imaging system for imaging a sample, includes a radiation source suitable for illuminating the sample repeatably, a first optical system configured to form an image I of the sample on a spatial light modulator forming a transmission or reflection mask P, a processor connected to the spatial light modulator and configured to make the transmission or reflection mask P vary for each repetition of the illumination, a second optical system suitable for focusing the radiation transmitted or reflected by the spatial light modulator so as to form, in its image focal plane, a partial image S=P·I; the imaging system being wherein it comprises: a dispersive device comprising a slit placed in the image focal plane of the second optical system, the dispersive device being suitable for spatially splitting the various wavelengths of the radiation transmitted or reflected by the spatial light modulator; a streak camera arranged so as to be illuminated by the radiation issuing from the dispersiv

  • Patent number: 10302574
    Abstract: A method for analyzing the crystal structure of a polycrystalline semiconductor material is described. According to one embodiment, the method includes exciting the material to make the material emit a luminescent signal, detecting, at each point of a mesh in a preset spatial region of the material, the luminescent signal at a variable polarization angle, in a frequency band of width greater than or equal to the width of the bandgap of the material, estimating, at each point of the mesh in the preset spatial region of the material, from the signal detected for said point of the mesh, a data characteristic of the modulation of the luminescent signal, modelled by a sum of sine waves, as a function of the polarization angle, and representing the characteristic data over all of the points of the mesh in the preset spatial region.

  • Patent number: 9923106
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a photosensitive device, comprising: a first step of preparing, on a substrate, at least a first photosensitive portion, active within a range of wavelengths, the first portion being surrounded by a second portion that is inactive. A material, covering the first portion, is selectively arranged into a hydrophilic layer by an electrochemical process. The second portion comprises a hydrophobic material on an upper surface opposite the substrate. The method further comprises the following steps: spraying on the upper surfaces of the first and second portions a liquid comprising a transparent material, and forming a converging lens containing the material, above the first portion.

  • Publication number: 20160093759
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a photovoltaic device with light concentration, comprising: a first step of fabricating, on a substrate, a first array of photovoltaic cells from a stack of layers deposited on the substrate, the cells of the first array being connected to a first group of electrical connectors, a second step of forming a light concentration system above the cells of the first array. It further comprises: a third step, prior to at least the second step, of forming on the substrate a second array of photovoltaic cells from a stack of layers deposited on the substrate, the cells of the second array being interspersed with the cells of the first array and connected to a second group of electrical connectors, and being without a light concentration system.
