Optical device for detection of an agent

摘要

In certain embodiments, a system for detecting an agent includes a resonator device configured to receive an agent. The resonator device is additionally configured to transmit light received from a light source. The transmitted light has a known characteristic in the absence of the received agent and an altered characteristic in the presence of the received agent. The system further include a lens positioned between the resonator device and a detector array. The lens is configured to focus the transmitted light onto one or more detectors of the detector array, the one or more detectors of the detector array operable to generate a signal corresponding to the transmitted light. The system further includes a processing system operable to determine whether the agent is present based on the signal generated by the one or more detectors of the detector array.
