Abstract:
There is presented a multipoint measurement system comprising light sources (1, 2) ; a plurality of illuminating fibers (5, 6) for transmitting light from the light sources to a sample so as to illuminate a plurality of points of the sample (A, B) ; a plurality of receiving fibers (8, 9) for collecting light beams including transmitted, reflected, scattered light beams at the plurality of points; a beam selector (10) which comprises a rotatable disk (12) having an aperture for transmitting a light beam collected by one of the plurality of receiving fibers (8, 9) through the receiving fiber (11) ; and an MCPD (4) . When the rotatable disk (12) is rotated so that the aperture is displaced to and stops at a position at which light at the desired channel passes through, it is possible to perform measurement only on the light passing through the corresponding receiving fiber (8, 9, 11) . Light at any other channel may be measured by rotating the rotatable disk (12) by a predetermined angle.
Abstract:
There is provided spectral discrimination apparatus for use in a scanning optical microscope, the spectral discrimination apparatus comprising dispersive means (31) and frequency selective means including a rotatable disc (36) or discs. The discs are formed with apertures or spiral slots which, on rotation of the disc or discs, controls the frequency of light transmitted by the apparatus. The apparatus includes a detector (39) for receiving light from the frequency selective means. The, or each, rotatable disc (36) is positioned at an aperture plane after the dispersive means (31), although this is not essential if the rotatable disc has its outer periphery shaped to provide a cam surface engaged by a cam follower. There is also provided a method of spectral discrimination in a scanning optical microscope, comprising dispersing the light and passing the light through frequency selective means in which the form of rotating discs controls the frequency of transmitted light.

Abstract:
L'invention concerne une installation de spectrométrie comportant une entrée (Fe); des moyens de filtrage optique (MF) recevant un faisceau d'entrée (ON) et délivrant une image spectrale dispersée de ce faisceau, limitée à une bande spectrale (BZ) choisie; un module de détection (DM) multicanale recevant ladite image spectrale et des moyens de traitement (UT). Selon l'invention, les moyens de filtrage optique (MF) sont munis d'un étage déflecteur (DF). Aux moyens de filtrage optique sont associés des moyens de commande (AJ1), pour définir la bande spectrale, en fréquence centrale et en largeur, et des moyens de commande (AJ2), propres à déplacer l'image spectrale sur le module de détection (DM). Il est prévu une unité de commande électronique (UCE) pilotant les moyens de commande (AJ1) (AJ2) et les moyens de traitement (UT) selon une pluralité de modes de fonctionnement, dont chacun comprend une commande conjointe de la bande spectrale choisie, du déplacement de l'image spectrale, et des moyens de traitement, pour utiliser sélectivement un jeu particulier d'éléments détecteurs.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multipoint measuring apparatus by which a plurality of points are simultaneously measured by selecting and changing over an optical path even when only a single measuring channel of an optical measuring device exists. SOLUTION: The multipoint measuring apparatus is provided with a light source 1 and a light source 2; a plurality of projection fibers 5, 6 used to irradiate beams of light from the light sources at the plurality of points; a plurality of light receiving fibers 8, 9 used to collect beams of transmitted light, reflected light, scattered light and the like from the plurality of points; a beam selector 10 composed of a rotating disk 12 having one transmission hole used to pass the beams of light collected by the plurality of fibers 8, 9 to any one light receiving fiber; and an MCPD 4. Consequently, when the rotating disk 12 is turned and when the transmission hole is brought to, and made at a standstill in, a position passing the beams of light in a channel to be measured, the beams of light in the light receiving fiber are transmitted and measured. When the beams of light in other channels are measured, the rotating disk is turned by a prescribed angle. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
