    Abstract: In a spectrophotometer application where high speed positioning is critical, a galvanometer in conjunction with a microprocessor controlled hybrid digital/analog servo system is used to rotate a diffraction grating for wavelength selection. A table containing digital position information for all wavelengths is accessed by the microprocessor to perform wavelength changes. The use of the table permits the determination of grating position to yield a desired wavelength for a system where the axis of rotation does not intersect a point on the surface of the diffraction grating. That is, the diffraction grating can be rotated about an axis coinciding with its center of gravity.

    Abstract: Apparatus for detecting an anomaly, (e.g. the presence of a hydrocarbon seep) at or near a water or land surface comprises means for generating a beam, preferably a pulsed beam, of primary light radiation, preferably ultra-violet light, and directing the beam towards the surface. The beam is sufficiently intense and of such a spectral composition that the beam causes the anomaly, if present, to emit secondary light radiation. The apparatus also comprises means for collecting the secondary light radiation, or means for collecting solar induced secondary light radiation, spectral analysis means for analysing the spectrum of the secondary radiation, and a high resolution, multi-element digitizing detector for recovering the analyzed secondary radiation. The detector has a plurality of detection channels positioned across the spectrum of the backscattered primary radiation and emitted secondary radiation, the channels being software configurable and under the control of a digitally addressable computer-operated controller. The concentration of used channels across the plurality of channels is adjustable and increasable in the regions of the spectrum of greatest interest and decreasable in the regions of least interest.

    Abstract: Iterative compensation of drift of peak positions of spectral lines is effected in a spectral monochromator including a grating, a detector of spectral fractions of a spectral band, a stepper motor for varying relative orientation of the grating and the detector, and a computer. Computer-defined spectral windows each encopasses a spectral band and has an initial spectral center. Each window is scanned to determine a peak spectral position. Calculation is made for determining a spectral position error of the peak position from the initial center for each corresponding window. A functional average of the offsets for the peaks is calculated as a linear function of window position, and a revised spectral center for each window is calculated as being equal to the initial center plus the functional average for the window position determined from the linear function. Each window is shifted correspondingly. The step of successively scanning through each window is repeated to determine a new peak position for each corresponding band, whereby each new peak position is maintained near the spectral center of each corresponding window.

    Abstract: A scanning monochromator uses a pulse-driven micro-stepping motor (20) to drive a spectral-dispersion element (33) via a reduction-gear harmonic drive (21). The motor (20) is directly coupled to the input hub of the reduction-gear drive (21), and the output hub of the reduction-gear drive directly supports the spectral-dispersion element (33). By selecting a motor (20) with a great number of steps per revolution, and a harmonic drive (21) with a great reduction ratio, a resolution of 5 million pulsed steps is available, per single rotation of the output hub of the reduction-gear drive. This translates into more than 600,000 incremental angular-displacement steps over a usable 45° range of dispersion-element rotation.

    Abstract: A system for rapid-scan spectral analysis comprising a concave holographic diffraction grating (18) continuously rotated at a substantially constant angular velocity to provide a rapid scanning monochromator (a monochromator is used to transfer nominal regions of wavelengths out of the continuous light source). The unique sampling circuitry uses an optical shaft encoder (42). The angular velocity and angular acceleration of the grating (18) are calculated from time measurements, just before the first wavelength of interest falls on the detector. This information is used to control the Analog to Digital converter sampling rate across the region of interest. The samples as a function of time are stored in a memory buffer (58) so that each data point corresponds to a wavelength.
