20100200044 | SOLAR CELLS ARRANGEMENT - A solar energy conversion system is presented. The system comprises at least one waveguide arrangement having at least one light input respectively. The waveguide arrangement comprises a core unit for passing input solar radiation therethrough and a cladding material arrangement interfacing with the core therealong. The cladding material arrangement is configured as an array of spaced-apart solar cells arranged along the core unit and having different optical absorption ranges, such that an interface between the waveguide core and the cladding arrangement spectrally splits the photons of the input solar radiation by causing the photons of different wavelengths, while passing through the core unit, to be successively absorbed and thereby converted into electricity by the successive solar cells of said array. | 08-12-2010 |

20150053871 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TIME-RESOLVED FLUORESCENCE IMAGING AND PULSE SHAPING - A time-resolved fluorescence imaging (TRFI) system that images a target medium without lifetime fitting. Instead of extracting the lifetime precisely, the system images the fluorophore distribution to allow for a simple and accurate method to obtain the fluorescence image without lifetime-extraction for time-resolved fluorescence imaging. An illumination source circuit for TRFI is also disclosed that shapes the excitation pulse. In one embodiment, the illumination source comprises an LED and stub line configured for generating a linear decay profile. | 02-26-2015 |
