Abstract:
[Purpose] The object of the present invention is to provide a spectroscope having both a wavelength resolving power and a spatial resolving power. [Solving Means] A spectroscope comprises an incident slit 12, a collimator lens type optical system 14 that makes the light rays having passed through the incident slit 12 parallel light rays, a reflection type diffraction grating 16 that receives the parallel light rays and, according to the wavelength, outputs these light rays at different angles, a condenser lens type optical system 14 that condenses the output light from the diffraction grating 16, and two-dimensional light-receiving means 16 having a two-dimensional light-receiving surface that detects the light rays that have been condensed by the condenser lens type optical system. The collimator lens type optical system and the condenser lens type optical system are disposed so that the angle 2γ defined between the optical axis of the collimator lens type optical system and the optical axis of the condenser lens type optical system may be acute; the condenser lens type optical system is disposed so that the distance between itself and the diffraction grating may be shorter than the distance between the collimator lens type optical system and the diffraction grating; and a setting is made so that a normal line vector at the central portion of the reflection surface of the diffraction grating may be directed, from a bisector of the angle defined between the optical axis of the collimator lens type optical system and the optical axis of the condenser lens type optical system, toward a side where the collimator lens type optical system is disposed.
Abstract:
A dynamic light scattering apparatus (10) comprises a laser (12) optically coupled to a light scattering sample (26) via a first monomode optical fibre (18) and a first lens (22). The lens (22) produces a beam waist (24) in the sample (26), and scattered light is collected by a receive lens (30) and a second monomode optical fibre (34). The second fibre (34) has an end face in the Fourier plane (84) of the receive lens (30, 70), and defines an aperture matched to a single Airy disc (82) of the lens (30, 70). The receive fibre (34) accordingly receives a single spatial mode of light scattered from the sample (26), this mode corresponding to a single plane wave to which many scatterers contribute. The receive fibre (34) also attenuates unwanted spatial modes because of its monomode character. A photodetector (36) detects light transmitted by the receive fibre (34).
Abstract:
In a real-time color comparator which performs color comparisons of sample objects to a reference color for the purpose of identification, sorting or matching two optical paths (15, 16) are positioned to collect the light from a reference object (12) and a sample object (11). The light outputs from the two paths are directed onto a spectral dispersive element in the form of a concave diffraction grating (20) that decomposes each light signal into its spectral constituents which are imaged on a dual photodetector array (30). The color signature from the reference and the color signature from the sample are compared.

Abstract:
A system (50) and method for internally inspecting a tubular composite part (10) so as to identify and measure adhesive flow therewithin are provided, along with an endpoint adapter (30) assembly of a near infrared (NIR) spectrometer (54). The system (50) includes an end point adapter that fits within and maintains a consistent cross-sectional position within the tubular composite part (10). The system (50) also includes a plurality of optical fibers (40) extending radially outward from the end point adapter. The end point adapter moves longitudinally through the tubular composite part (10) and receives light with the plurality of optical fibers (40) following interaction of the light with the tubular composite part (10). The system (50) further includes a NIR imaging spectrometer (54) configured to disperse the light being collected by the plurality of optical fibers (40) across an NIR spectrum λ and a NIR camera (58) configured to generate images of the tubular composite part (10) based on dispersed light.
Abstract:
A spectroscopic unit and spectroscopic device according to the present invention are provided with a filter that is provided with a plurality of optical filter elements disposed in order from the entrance side to the exit side of light under measurement and has different transmission wavelengths corresponding to entrance positions along a first direction. A first optical filter element from among the plurality of optical filter elements is tilted with respect to a second optical filter element disposed adjacently to the first optical filter element as a result of the first optical filter element being rotated by a prescribed angle with a third direction that is perpendicular to both the first direction and s second direction from the entrance side to the exit side as the axis of rotation thereof or being rotated by a prescribed angle with the first direction as the axis of rotation thereof.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates generally to methods and apparatus for using a fiber array spectral translator-based ('FAST') spectroscopic system for performing spectral unmixing of a mixture containing multiple polymorphs. In an embodiment, a first spectrum of a mixture containing polymorphs of a compound is obtained using a photon detector and a fiber array spectral translator having plural fibers. A set of second spectra is provided where each spectrum of the set of second spectra may be representative of a different polymorph of the compound. The first spectrum and the set of second spectra may be compared, and based on the comparison, the presence of one or more polymorphs in the mixture may be determined.
