Abstract:
A multi-channel measurement device for measuring properties of human tissue, may comprise a microcontroller and first and second source/sensor complexes. The first source/sensor complex may include a first housing having a first measurement portion, a first light sensor coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the first measurement portion, and a first plurality of light sources coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the first measurement portion. The second source/sensor complex may include a second housing having a second measurement portion, a second light sensor coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the second measurement portion, and a second plurality of light sources coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the second measurement portion. The first and second source/sensor complexes are coupled to each other such that the first measurement portion is opposite the second measurement portion and human tissue may be placed between the first and second measurement portions. The microprocessor is configured with instructions stored in non-volatile memory to individually activate each of the light sources of the first and second pluralities of light sources and to record light intensity detected by the first and second light sources while an individual light source is activated. Each combination of an individually activated light source and one of the first and second light sensors provides a distinct measurement channel for measuring the absorption spectra of human blood and tissue.

The invention relates to a device (2) and to a method for characterizing an ultrashort laser pulse. Furthermore, the invention relates to use of a self-contained optical assembly in a device (2) for characterizing an ultrashort laser pulse. The device (2) comprises an imaging optical element (4) configured to image the incident laser pulse (6) in a direction of a straight line (L). A first optical element (10) is configured to apply predetermined varying group delay dispersion on the line focused laser pulse. A non-linear optical element (14) is configured to generate a second harmonic laser pulse (30). An optical grating (20) generates a diffraction of the second harmonic laser pulse, which is imaged on a flat sensor (24). A processing unit (36) determines a best fit for the captured image thereby calculating a frequency spectrum and a spectral phase of the laser pulse.

Frequency registration deviations occurring during a scan of a frequency or wavelength range by a spectroscopic analysis system can be corrected using passive and/or active approaches. A passive approach can include determining and applying mathematical conversions to a recorded field spectrum. An active approach can include modifying one or more operating parameters of the spectroscopic analysis system to reduce frequency registration deviation.

Abstract:
An apparatus for detecting gas concentrations includes a coded filter to oscillate proximate a resonant frequency. A photo detector is positioned below the coded filter such that the coded filter selectively blocks light that is directed at the photo detector. Optics are positioned to project spectral information on to the coded filter. A processor analyzes a signal received from the photo detector. The processor is adapted to weight a harmonic attic signal.
