  • Publication number: 20190391066
    Abstract: An electromagnetic wave detecting device comprising: an emission unit configured to emit electromagnetic waves having coherence; an electromagnetic wave modulating unit configured to modulate one or both of a phase and an amplitude of the emitted electromagnetic waves and to change a state of the modulation relative to an imaging target; and a post-modulation electromagnetic wave intensity detecting unit configured to detect an intensity of post-modulation electromagnetic waves, which are the modulated electromagnetic waves acquired by modulating the electromagnetic waves emitted from the emission unit using the imaging target and the electromagnetic wave modulating unit, using one pixel.

  • Publication number: 20180327699
    Abstract: An analysis device includes an analysis unit configured to receive scattered light, transmitted light, fluorescence, or electromagnetic waves from an observed object located in a light irradiation region light-irradiated from a light source and analyze the observed object on the basis of a signal extracted on the basis of a time axis of an electrical signal output from a light-receiving unit configured to convert the received light or electromagnetic waves into the electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 10107749
    Abstract: An active plasmon sensor comprising a single crystalline semiconductor CdS nano-slab atop a silver surface separated by a magnesium fluoride (MgF2) gap layer. The surface plasmon effect localizes the electromagnetic field at the interface between the metal and semiconductor, allowing both the device's physical size and mode confinement to shrink down to the nanometer scale in a dimension perpendicular to the metal surface.

  • Publication number: 20180246030
    Abstract: Any one or both of an optical system with a structured lighting pattern and a structured detecting system having a plurality of regions with different optical characteristics are used. In addition, optical signals from an object to be observed through one or a small number of pixel detectors are detected while changing relative positions between the object to be observed and any one of the optical system and the detecting system, time series signal information of the optical signals are obtained, and an image associated with an object to be observed from the time series signal information is reconstructed.
