    Abstract: In an optical spectrum analyzer comprising a spectrograph and a photodevice array, and an optical spectrum detecting method, a wavelength deviation, from an assigned wavelength, of a light detected by a photodevice array which detects a wavelength of a diffraction light or a non-diffraction light from an acoustooptic device, is detected and a feedback control to a diffraction angle of the acoustooptic device is performed. Also, without using a feedback control, an exit light and a diffraction light from the acoustooptic device are respectively received by two photodevice arrays and the photodevices are arranged in order to mutually compensate gaps between the photodevices, whereby a center of each photodevice is similarly made coincide with a peak of an optical beam to be received.

    Abstract: A spectrometric method is disclosed which uses a novel tunable laser as a monochromatic light source to carrying out spectrometry efficiently. As the tunable laser, a tunable laser is used which comprises a laser resonator so provided therein with a laser medium 14 capable of laser oscillation in a predetermined range of wavelength and a birefringent acousto-optic element 100 and which is capable of wavelength selection by selecting a frequency of an acoustic wave to be generated in the birefringent acousto-optic element 100 by means of a piezoelectric element 22 connected to a RF power source 20. The tunable laser is used instead of a spectroscopic light source and a monochromator in a conventional spectrophotometer to thereby carry out spectrometry efficiently. In case of detecting Raman scattered light no influence of fluorescence without using a spectroscope, a tunable laser 140 is controlled by a controlling device 141 to sweep a wavelength of a monochromatic light beam LB with which a sample S is irradiated while alternately switching the wavelength between a first frequency .upsilon..sub.ex1 and a second frequency .upsilon..sub.ex2 having a frequency difference .DELTA..upsilon..sub.ex relative to the first frequency .upsilon..sub.ex1. The resulting scattered light emanated from the sample S is detected by a photodetector 145 through an interference filter 144 which transmits light having an obsrvation frequency .upsilon..sub.ob. Output of the photodetector 145 is subjected to phase synchronous detection by a lock-in amplifier 146 and processed by a signal processor 147 to obtain a Raman spectrum ot the sample S.

    Abstract: A dual beam tunable spectrometer comprises a radiation source, generating means, a detector, and a shutter arrangement. The radiation source generates an incident radiative beam. The generating means, which includes an acousto-optic tunable filter, receives the incident radiative beam and generates therefrom a reference beam and a sample beam. The detector detects at least part of the reference beam, and detects at least part of the sample beam emitted from a sample following illumination of the sample with the sample beam. The shutter arrangement includes a first shutter selectively permitting passage therethrough of the part of the reference beam and a second shutter selectively permitting passage therethrough of the part of the sample beam. The shutter arrangement opens the first shutter and closes the second shutter to permit the detector to detect only the part of the reference beam. Similarly, the shutter arrangement closes the first shutter and opens the second shutter to permit the detector to detect only the part of the sample beam.

    Abstract: A Fourier Transform Raman Spectrometer system includes a folded V laser cavity. A first leg of the folded V laser cavity is defined by a highly reflective end mirror and a dichroic fold mirror and a second leg of the folded V laser cavity is defined by the fold mirror and an output coupler. A solid-state laser gain medium is disposed in the first leg of the folded V laser cavity and is pumped by a pump source aligned with the optical path of the first leg of the laser cavity and radiating through the fold mirror. The fold mirror is highly transmissive at the wavelength of pump radiation from the pump source and highly reflective at the laser output wavelength. An output beam from the laser is passed through a tuneable filter comprising an acousto-optic device and is directed at a sample to be analyzed. Light reflected from the sample is directed to a Raman Spectrometer for analysis.

    Abstract: An improved AOTF-based imaging spectrometer that has ability to electronically set the bandpass wavelength of an AOTF to any desired value in its wide tuning range, provides significant observational flexibility. This allows observations to be tailored in real-time and enables the spectrometer to address a wide range of objectives and permits real-time modification of the observational parameters, such as in flight or in other situations in which only remote control is possible. Various improvements in optical architecture provide simplified magnification variability, improved image resolution and light throughput efficiency and reduced sensitivity to ambient light. A preferred embodiment employs a camera zoom lens as the input lens. A TeO.sub.2 AOTF and a relay lens are placed at selected distances behind the back focal plane of the input lens, respectively. A charge coupled device (CCD) camera, which comprises a camera, camera zoom lens and a CCD detector is placed at a selected distance behind the relay lens. An RF signal generator is used to drive the AOTF. Two embodiments of the invention are disclosed herein. One operates in the visible/near-infrared domain, in the wavelength range of 0.48 to 0.76 microns. The other operates in the infrared wavelength range of 1.2 to 2.5 microns.

    Abstract: An improved system for quantitative chemical analysis incorporates a chromatographic column. A radiation source of a predetermined range of wavelengths is in optical communication with an emerging specie from the chromatographic column by of a first optical path whereby radiation is modified by characteristic of the specie. A detector is in optical communication with the emerging specie by a second optical path whereby a first output signal reflective of the detected radiation is generated. An acousto-optic tunable filter system is disposed in one of either the first or second optical paths. The radiation is passed through the crystal at a predetermined angle relative to the crystal's optic axis. An acoustic transducer is coupled to the crystal to launch acoustic waves into the crystal to interact with a selected narrow bandwidth portion of the radiation to make it distinguishable from the remaining radiation. A computer to which the detector output signal is applied determines the emerging specie by the identifiable characteristics. An auxiliary detector responsive to the emerging specie can be associated with the chromatographic column. A parallel optical path can also be included to define a reference cell. A second output signal reflective of the detected radiation passing through the parallel optical path is generated. The difference between the first and second output signals represents a measure of the emerging specie's absorption characteristic. In an alternative embodiment, an acoustooptic dispersive light filter can be inserted in the system.
