A double pi’n/pin a-SiC:H heterostructure with two optical connections for light triggering in different spectral regions is presented and its behavior as image and color sensor, optical amplifier and demux device is discussed. The design and the light source properties are correlated with the sensor output characteristics. Different readout techniques are used. When a low power monochromatic scanner readout is used the transducer recognizes a color pattern projected on it acting as a color and image sensor. Scan speeds up to 104lines per second are achieved without degradation in the resolution. If the photocurrent generated by different monochromatic pulsed channels is readout directly, the information is demultiplexed. Results show that it is possible to decode the information from three simultaneous color channels at bit rates per channel higher than 4000 bps. Finally, when triggered by an appropriated wavelength, it can amplify or suppress the generated photocurrent working as an optical amplifier. Electrical models are present to support the sensing methodologies.

In this study, we designed a low-power visible ray (V) drive module based on a light-emitting diode (LED) to initiate fat reduction using light source irradiation. A chemical phantom of muscle and fat was fabricated, and the performance of the proposed LED drive module was tested using this chemical phantom. The LED light source could reduce fat by irradiating the skin 4–5 cm deep. The device exhibits a negative feedback and parallel amplification to maintain a stable circuit based on low-power consumption. Muscles have a high-water content and low impedance, whereas fats have a low water content and significant salt content. Therefore, fat exhibits high impedance. Chemical phantoms were fabricated according to these impedance values, and the fat reduction effect using the LED circuits was analyzed. When the fat phantom was irradiated by the light source, the fat impedance lowered, and we confirmed that fat reduction could be obtained. This study is expected to be applicable to family medicine and weight management health care.

Wavelength or light intensity demodulation method for a polarization maintaining fiber loop mirror (PM-FLM) sensor is not only expensive but also unsuitable for vibration monitoring. This paper studies the voltage demodulation principle and explores theoretically the influence of light source on the sensitivity. Then a PM-FLM sensor is applied to vibration monitoring. A low-power narrow-band light source reflected from FBG and a high-power laser light source are used respectively as input. The time domain voltage signals of vibration from a photo-detector are collected by a data acquisition card and converted via a fast Fourier transform algorithm. The experimental result shows that a PM-FLM sensor using a high-power narrow-band light source as input has a higher sensitivity to vibration than the one using a low-power narrow-band light source. In practical application, we can choose a high-power narrow-band light source as input to improve the sensitivity to vibration.
