"optical sensitivity" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It refers to the ability of a material, device, or organism to detect and respond to light or optical stimuli. Example: The new camera boasts high optical sensitivity, allowing it to capture detailed images in low light conditions.
To carry out this optimization we have considered three figures of merit: optical sensitivity, Q-factor and signal amplitude.
After recalling the principles of this classical method, the optical sensitivity parameters linked with the use of an inverse calculation method are evaluated and commented on.
The optical sensitivity of the capacitance, dissipation factor, and ac-conductance of the Ga2O3 Ti films grown on Si was studied as a function of Ti-doping level.
Highly antireflective heterostructured aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN /GaN ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors were demonstrated using a combination of inverted pyramidal surfaces and zinc oxide nanorod arrays (i.e., antireflective surface modification) to enhance the optical sensitivity.
In order to study the optical sensitivity in more detail, a photoconductive device with two parallel electrodes is manufactured and illuminated by a line-shaped laser beam that covers only a fraction of the gap between the electrodes.
The sensor, constructed using silver as the metal rings and a thermo-optic liquid ethanol film between the metal layers, is capable of sensing temperature with outstanding optical sensitivity, as high as −0.53 nm/°C.
Experimental optical sensitivities of 13.1 dB/g for negative and 17.5 dB/g for positive accelerations, and a high repeatability in an uncontrolled atmosphere are observed.
Various optical and sensitivity parameters like molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity are also computed and compiled in Table 1.
Group B streptococcal rapid optical immunoassay sensitivity was 81%.
The results obtained with different SFD in the case of interference optical system sensitivity analysis are presented.
