Abstract:
In this color measurement device and method, an entire image and a partial image of a color chart are acquired, respectively, during conveyance of the color chart by a conveyance unit and during re-conveyance of the color chart by the conveyance unit, and an amount of positional deviation of the color chart occurring between the conveyance and the re-conveyance is derived based on the acquired entire and partial images.

Abstract:
A protective sheath having a closed end and an open end is sized to receive a hand held spectrometer. The spectrometer can be placed in the sheath to calibrate the spectrometer and to measure samples. In a calibration orientation, an optical head of the spectrometer can be oriented toward the closed end of the sheath where a calibration material is located. In a measurement orientation, the optical head of the spectrometer can be oriented toward the open end of the sheath in order to measure a sample. To change the orientation, the spectrometer can be removed from the sheath container and placed in the sheath container with the calibration orientation or the measurement orientation. Accessory container covers can be provided and placed on the open end of the sheath with samples placed therein in order to provide improved measurements.

A method for determining spectral calibration data (λcal(Sd), Sd,cal(λ)) of a Fabry-Perot interferometer (100) comprises: - forming a plurality of filtered spectral peaks (P'1, P'2) by filtering input light (LB1) with a Fabry-Perot etalon (50) such that a first filtered peak (Ρ'1) corresponds to a first transmittance peak (P1) of the etalon (50), and such that a second filtered peak (P'2) corresponds to a second transmittance peak (P2) of the etalon (50), - using the Fabry-Perot interferometer (100) for measuring a spectral intensity distribution (M(Sd)) of the filtered spectral peaks (Ρ'1, P'2), wherein the spectral intensity distribution (M(Sd)) is measured by varying the mirror gap (dFP) of the Fabry-Perot interferometer (100), and by providing a control signal (Sd) indicative of the mirror gap (dFP), and - determining the spectral calibration data (λcal(Sd), Sd,cal(λ)) by matching the measured spectral intensity distribution (M(Sd)) with the spectral transmittance (ΤΕ(λ)) of the etalon (50).

Abstract:
An operating value of a first laser parameter of a laser device in a laser absorption spectrometer is optimised. The wavelength of laser device emitted light is adjusted by the first or a second laser parameter. The laser absorption spectrometer comprises a light intensity detector measuring the laser light intensity from the laser device. For each of multiple values of the first laser parameter: the light intensity detector measures light intensity obtained across a range of second laser parameter values, and an extremum in the light intensity measure and a peak position for the extremum are identified. A range of first laser parameter values is identified within the values of the first laser parameter for which there is a continuous trend in changes to the identified peak position with changes to the first laser parameter. The first laser parameter operating value is set to be within the identified range. The laser device is either a mid-infrared LD or the difference frequency generated in a PPNL (250) using the output of two near infrared telecommunication laser diodes (210,220) having for example a DFB (220). The wavelength sweep is realized by a corresponding control of temperature and bias current provided to the LD while the absorption peaks of the isotopes to be detected should be in the middle of the individual sweep ranges.
