Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer that includes an optical element using an optical material having deliquescence and can dispense with or reduce desiccant exchanging working. SOLUTION: In this fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, a drying unit 5 provided with a Peltier element is provided in order to maintain the inside of a hermetically sealed chamber 1 in a dried state. The cooling side 6 and heating side 7 of the Peltier element are respectively disposed on the inside and outside of the hermetically sealed chamber 1. The drying unit 5 is provided with a moisture absorbent 8 so as to carry moisture from the cooling side 6 to the heating side 7. When the Peltier element of the unit 5 is energized, the moisture in the hermetically sealed chamber 1 is condensed into dew in a cooling section which is in contact with the cooling side 6 in the chamber 1 and the dew is carried to the heating side 7 on the outside of the chamber 7 through the absorbent 8 and evaporated to the outside after the dew is heated by the heating side 7.

Abstract:
For the adjustment and mounting of an optical component in an optical instrument, the optical component is held by an adjusting device not forming part of the instrument. After the adjusting process is completed, the component is attached to the instrument by a liquid or pasty substance which solidifies with slight change in volume. The optical component or its mount and the instrument are so developed that a form-locked, force-locked, or adherence-locked attachment is produced between them. The adjusting process can be made objective by a position-resolving receiver; the evaluation of the adjustment image and the carrying out of the adjustment movements can be effected by a computer which can also carry out the entire adjustment process completely automatically. After the firm attachment of the optical component to the instrument, the adjusting device is removed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the accuracy of measurement by providing an evaporating part for heat pipes near a light source lamp, and quickly conducting the heat of the light source to the outside thereby stabilizing the quantity of irradiation light. CONSTITUTION:Working fluid 11 such as water, ammonia, methanol, ''Dowtherm A '' is put in a metallic pipe 10 of copper, aluminum, stainless steel or the like, and the inside of the pipe is evacuated and sealed, whereby a heat pipe 14 is formed. If the plural heat pipes 14 are put near a light source lamp 6 and an evaporating part 12 is heated, the working fluid 11 deprives of evaporating heat and evaporates. The heat of evaporation is dissipated in a condensing part 13 to the outside of a photometer cover 1. Since the circumferential part of the lamp 6 is effectively cooled without using any fan, the stable quantity of light is emitted. The light transmits through a flow cell 2 sucking up a sample soln. 5, is divided to respective wavelengths by grating 3, are photoelectrically converted by a detector 4, the outputs whereof are recorded in a recorder 16 via an amplifier 15. Thereby, the stable light source is formed by the simple construction, and the accuracy of measurement is improved.
Abstract:
A device images radiation from a scene. An image forming optical component forms an image of the scene on an uncooled detector having two separate regions. A first filter allows radiation in a first wavelength band to be imaged on the first detector region. A second filter allows radiation in a second wavelength band to be imaged on the second detector region, Two fixedly positioned wedge-shaped components each direct radiation from the scene through the image forming optical component onto the detector through an f-number of less than 1.5. A blackbody source positioned within, the.device reduces drift induced by -environmental, changes surrounding the devices. The blackbody source projects radiation through one of the wedge- shaped components onto a region of the detector that does not receive radiation from the scene. Pixel signals produced from the scene radiation are modified based on pixel signals produced from the blackbody.
Abstract:
An optical head assembly (160) for use in a spectrometer is provided that is configured to characterize one or more constituents within a sample gas. The assembly includes a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) (310) having a cold side on one end and a hot side on an opposite end, a cold plate (315) in thermal communication with the cold side of the TEC, a hot block (305) in thermal communication with the hot side of the TEC, a light source (105) in thermal communication with the cold plate such that a change in temperature of the TEC causes one or more properties of the light source (e.g., wavelength, etc.) to change, and an optical element (325) in thermal communication with the cold plate positioned to collimate light emitted by the light source through the sample gas (such that properties of the optical element vary based on a change in temperature of the TEC).
