Detection of light for ascertaining color information

摘要

A sensor is provided for detecting light, including an imager which includes a first imaging element and a second imaging element situated adjacent to the first imaging element, and including an optical element which is designed for directing a first component of light incident in the direction of the first imaging element onto the second imaging element, and for allowing a second component of the light incident in the direction of the first imaging element to strike the first imaging element.

1. A sensor for detecting light, comprising:
an imager having a first imaging element and a second imaging element situated adjacent to the first imaging element; and an optical element for directing a first component of light incident in a direction of the first imaging element onto the second imaging element, and for allowing a second component of the light incident in the direction of the first imaging element to strike the first imaging element, wherein:
the first component of light has a first frequency,the second component of light has a second frequency that is different than the first frequency, andthe optical element includes one of a diffuser and a defocusing device that expands at least one of the first component and the second component.
