Abstract: An optical path switch divides sample path radiation into a time series of alternating first polarized components and second polarized components. The first polarized components are transmitted along a first optical path and the second polarized components along a second optical path. A first gasless optical filter train filters the first polarized components to isolate at least a first wavelength band thereby generating first filtered radiation. A second gasless optical filter train filters the second polarized components to isolate at least a second wavelength band thereby generating second filtered radiation. A beam combiner combines the first and second filtered radiation to form a combined beam of radiation. A detector is disposed to monitor magnitude of at least a portion of the combined beam alternately at the first wavelength band and the second wavelength band as an indication of the concentration of the substance in the sample path.

Abstract: In a double beam spectrophotometer, a sample beam is irradiated to a large-sized sample in a substantially vertical direction, and the beam upwardly transmitted through the large-sized sample is reflected by a reflecting mirror and sent to an integrating sphere including a detector. A reference beam irradiated parallel to the sample beam is deflected by reflecting mirrors such that the reference beam goes around the large-sized sample, and guided to the integrating sphere. Thus, a holder is not required to correspond to a size or shape of the sample, and measurement position can be freely changed by moving the sample. Also, in case of utilizing a conventional standard sample chamber, movable reflecting mirrors are inserted in the optical paths to transfer the beams to the standard sample chamber.

Abstract: A variable filter spectrophotometer, for use with sample and reference; has a main member, a filter unit, a drive, a detector, a light distribution system, and a clamping circuit. The main member defines first and second beam paths, which are intersected by the filter unit. The filter unit has filtering and opaque portions. The filter unit is continuously movable relative to the beam paths in a repeating cycle from a first filtering relation in which the filtering portion is interposed in the first beam path and the opaque portion completely blocks the second beam path, to a first dark relation in which both beam paths are blocked, to a second filtering relation in which the filtering portion is interposed in the second beam path and the first beam path is completely blocked, and to a second dark relation in which both beam paths are completely blocked. The filtering portion is variably transmissive along a direction of movement of the filter unit. The drive continuously moves the filter unit relative to the beam paths. The detector produces a signal responsive to light received. The light distribution system directs light separately to and from the sample and reference, to and from the beam paths, and to the detector. The clamping circuit clamps the signal produced by the detector during the filtering relations to the signal produced by the detector during the dark relations.

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: In a double-beam photometer comprising a light source providing a light beam, detector means, a sample area, optical means for guiding the light beam as a measuring light beam through the sample area onto the detector means, means for guiding the same light beam as a reference light beam onto the detector means while avoiding the sample area, and chopper means disposed in a splitting location for splitting the light beam into the measuring light beam, which are combined into one path of rays in a recombination location, after the measuring light beam has passed through the sample area, with the splitting location and the recombination location being spatially close to each other. The chopper means has a single chopper which simultaneously effects the splitting and the combination of the measuring and reference light beams.

Abstract: In a spectrophotometer of double beam type using automatic gain control, preparatory scanning is first carried out by scanning reference and sample cells with radiation of varying wavelengths both in an empty state, and controlling the gain of a photo detector at each wavelength such that a detector output responding to a sample cell transmitted beam may become constant while storing a detector output responding to a reference cell transmitted beam. Measurement of a sample material is then carried out at each wavelength by scanning the reference cell and the sample material-charged sample cell, reading out the reference output stored in the preparatory scanning stage as a reference voltage, and controlling the gain of the detector such that a detector output responding to a reference cell transmitted beam may be equal to the reference voltage.

Abstract: A spectrum analyzing system measures or analyzes the colorimetric properties of a test sample at a preselected wavelength or range of wavelengths within the ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared regions. The system includes a spectrophotometer provided with a wideband light source, optical devices providing a sample light path and a reference light path, a chopper wheel allowing light to be directed alternately along the sample and reference paths interspersed with dark periods during which no light travels along either path, a dispersion grating for dispersing the light from both paths, a series of neutral density filters for limiting to various degrees the amount of light traversing each path, and a linear array of photodiodes for detecting the dispersed light at different wavelengths. The system also includes an electronic control section including a programmable power supply for controlling the intensity of light from the light source whereby the combination of the use of the neutral density filters in conjunction with controlling the intensity of light from the light source can be used to operate the photodiode array to prevent operation thereof near the saturated and dark current levels, and means for scanning the photodiode array at high speeds during rotation of the chopper wheel to provide a high speed spectral readout.

Abstract: A pair of optical beams of radiant energy from separate paths in a spectrophotometer are coaxially merged into a single composite beam with an optical member which resembles a coarse echelette grating. A reflective surface which includes the surfaces of sidewalls within a plurality of parallel grooves is disposed on the optical member. The grooves are arranged in a lateral array and are generally V-shaped cross-sectionally. The beams to be combined are directed upon the sidewalls and the composite beam is emitted therefrom in accordance with the law of reflection. When the beams to be combined include non-collimated rays, shadowing is provided by the portion of the optical member between adjoining sidewalls of adjacent grooves to reduce flare. Furthermore, image aberrations as caused by off-axis operation due to use of a spherical mirror in the beam combining arrangement, are substantially corrected by the optical member.
