Abstract:
1. A light detector, comprising: a container having an anode compartment and a cathode compartment, the anode compartment having an array of anodes and the cathode compartment having a cathode; a transparent portion in the container that allows light into the anode compartment; a light diffracting device oriented to diffract light entering the anode compartment into incident component colored light, which then radiates onto a barrier supporting a membrane that separates the anode compartment and the cathode compartment, the membrane being able to allow protons to pass; the anode compartment(s) having a photon-converting compound, the photon-converting compound being associated with the membrane; and the barrier having an array of pores, the pores being filled or covered with the membrane, the barrier being composed of a dielectric material and having thereupon the array of anodes, each of which anode is plated to or in contact with the dielectric material and each of which anodes are adjacent to and electrically isolating one or more of the pores, the anodes further arranged to form bands positioned coincident with a portion of the barrier at which known colors of the incident component colored light are diffracted unto.
