  • Publication number: 20220199840
    Abstract: The invention relates to different aspects of a photodetector (1-8) for detecting electromagnetic radiation in a spectrally selective manner, comprising a first optoelectronic component (100-106, 108) for detecting a first wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation. The first optoelectronic component (100-106, 108) has a first optical cavity and at least one detection cell (21, 21a, 22, 22a, 23) arranged in the first optical cavity. The first optical cavity is made of two mutually spaced parallel mirror layers (11, 11a, 11?, 12, 12a). The length of the first optical cavity is configured such that for the first wavelength, a resonant wave (13, 13a), which is associated with said wavelength, of the i-th order is formed in the first optical cavity.

  • Publication number: 20220165798
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hybrid multispectral device comprising a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, at least one first functional element having a first functional layer operable to detect or emit light of a first wavelength range, and at least one second functional element having a second functional layer operable to detect or emit light of a second wavelength range different from the first wavelength range. The first functional element is arranged on the first surface of the substrate, while the second functional element is arranged on the second surface of the substrate. The first functional element is arranged in a first lateral region of the multispectral device, and the second functional element is arranged in a second lateral region of the multispectral device.
