Abstract: A spectrophotometer includes a plurality of sensor elements arranged together, each sensor element including a filter; a light sensor optically coupled with an output of the filter; and a barrier that surrounds the filter and light sensor and a space between the filter and light sensor. For each sensor element, the barrier blocks light that has not passed through the filter from reaching the light sensor including such that light from one sensor element is not detected by another of the sensor elements.

Abstract: In a color imaging system, multiple rendering devices are provided at different nodes along a network. Each rendering device has a color measurement instrument for calibrating the color presented by the rendering device. A rendering device may be a printer in which the measuring of color samples on a sheet rendered by the printer is provided by a sensor coupled to a transport mechanism which moves the sensor and sheet relative to each other, where the sensor provides light from the samples to a spectrograph. A rendering device may also be a display having a member supporting a color measuring instrument for receiving light from an area of the screen. The color measuring instruments provide for non-contact measurements of color samples rendered on a display or a sheet, and are self calibrating by the use of calibration references.

Abstract: A spectroscopic module 1 is provided with a spectroscopic unit 8 and a photodetector 9 in addition to a spectroscopic unit 4 and a photodetector 5 and thus can enhance its detection sensitivity for light in a wide wavelength range or different wavelength regions of light. A light-transmitting hole 5b and a light-absorbing layer 12 are disposed between light detecting portions 5a, 9a, while a reflection unit 7 is provided so as to oppose the layer 12 (i.e., region R), whereby the size can be kept from becoming larger. Ambient light La is absorbed by the layer 12. Any part of the light La transmitted through the region R in the layer 12 is reflected to the region R by the unit 7 formed so as to oppose the region R, whereby stray light can be inhibited from being caused by the incidence of the light La.

Abstract: Described herein is an improved sensing system (30) and its method of operation. The system (30) includes a camera (16) for viewing an external scene, the camera comprising one or more detector(s) and has a field of view (40) which overlaps with the path (32) of a pulsed laser (12). The laser path (32) and radiation from the scene viewed (40) share a beamsplitter (36) and a window (38). In order to substantially reduce back-scattered radiation from the laser path (32) affecting operation of the detector(s) of the camera (16), the detector(s) is (are) switched in accordance with the operation of the laser (12) to be “off” or non-receiving when the laser (12) is “on” or firing.

Abstract: In the spectroscopy module 1, a light detecting element 4 is provided with a light passing opening 4b through which light made incident into a body portion 2 passes. Therefore, it is possible to prevent deviation of the relative positional relationship between the light passing opening 4b and a light detection portion 4a of the light detecting element 4. Further, an optical element 7, which guides light made incident into the body portion 2, is arranged at the light passing opening 4b. Therefore, light, which is to be made incident into the body portion 2, is not partially blocked at a light incident edge portion of the light passing opening 4b, but light, which is to be made incident into the body portion 2, can be guided securely. Therefore, according to the spectroscopy module 1, it is possible to improve the reliability.
