    Abstract: A spectrometer can include a plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals. Wavelength discrimination in the spectrometer can be achieved by differing light absorption and emission characteristics of different populations of semiconductor nanocrystals (e.g., populations of different materials, sizes or both). The spectrometer therefore can operate without the need for a grating, prism, or a similar optical component. A personal UV exposure tracking device can be portable, rugged, and inexpensive, and include a semiconductor nanocrystal spectrometer for recording a user's exposure to UV radiation. Other applications include a personal device (e.g. a smartphone) or a medical device where a semiconductor nanocrystal spectrometer is integrated.

    Abstract: A disc serving as a spatial radiation modulator has dispersed radiation filters thereon. Each filter has a transmittance or reflectance modulation function of the form sin 2 (mθ +π/4), where m is a positive integer and p has one of the four values 0, 1, 2, 3. A radiation beam including selected wavelength components is diffracted into an elongated image dispersed according to wavelength. Different wavelength components are focused onto different filters on the modulator and are encoded by corresponding filters. Since the modulation functions of the filters are orthogonal to one another, it is possible to extract the amplitude of each wavelength component after it has been encoded or modulated by corresponding filter from the total detected signal during one measurement.

    Abstract: A device for detecting laser beams where high levels of light from an extraneous source may be present in one area of the device's field-of-view. The device has a lens (3) to focus an image of the field-of-view onto a surface of a photodetector (1) and an optical limiter (2) is located between the lens (3) and the photodetector (1). The optical limiter (2) limits transmission of the light received from the extraneous source at areas of the optical limiter (2) onto which the light is focussed by the lens (3) but remains transmissive to the laser beams and light received from other areas. The device is particularly intended for use in laser warning receivers where sunlight (S) may be focussed on the optical limiter (2) and blocked at the particular area (5) of the optical limiter (2) onto which it is focussed. The optical limiter (2) does not block laser beams allowing them to be detected by the photodetector. An imaging system using the same optical arrangement can also be used in video cameras to specifically attenuate the effects of the sun on a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor.

    Abstract: Spectroscopy apparatus for spectrochemical analysis of a sample having an excitation source (60) for providing spectral light (62) of the sample for analysis. The spectral light (62) is analysed via an optical system (64-66-68) that includes a polychromator (70, 74-80) and solid state multielement array detector (82). The elements (i.e. pixels) of the detector (82) are serially read by means (84) to provide light intensity measurements as a function of wavelength. A problem is that the elements (pixels) of the detector (82) continue to accumulate charge during the serial read-out. This is avoided by providing an optical shutter (72) for blocking the spectral light (62) whilst elements (pixels) of the detector (82) are being serially read. Shutter (72) has a piezoelectric actuator which is preferably a bimorph mounted as a cantilever. It is preferably located adjacent to the entrance aperture (70) of the polychromator. Bimorph structures for the actuator and drive and protective circuit arrangements are also disclosed.
