Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to a sensor element formed of a crystalline material and which emits reproducible luminescence spectra in response to excitation light spectra. Such a sensor element comprises a first layer of semiconductor material emitting the reproducible luminescence spectra upon excitation by the excitation light spectra and doped with materials providing shallow energy levels and recombination centers. This first layer has a dopant concentration between 1015 to 1018/cm3. The sensor element further comprises at least second and third layers of semiconductor material surrounding the first layer and having low absorption for the excitation light and luminescent light of this first …
