Abstract:
1. A thermoelectric frequency selective system for sensing photons, the system comprising: at least one intensity control device configured for selecting a range of a rate of arrival of the photons that are to be sensed; at least one polarization control device configured for selecting a polarization of the photons that are to be sensed; at least one focusing element configured for focusing the photons that are being sensed; at least one frequency selective electromagnetic detector, wherein the at least one frequency selective electromagnetic detector is configured for detecting the photons that are focused from the at least one focusing element, wherein when the at least one frequency selective electromagnetic detector senses at least one photon, the at least one frequency selective electromagnetic detector is configured to emit at least one electrical pulse voltage that is proportional to an energy level of the at least one photon; and at least one processor configured for processing the at least one electrical pulse voltage.
