    Abstract: A static Fourier transform spectrometer is disclosed that includes a beam splitter, a mirror device, and a collection optic. The beam splitter divides an input light beam into a first arm and a second arm, wherein the first arm is reflected by the beam splitter and the second arm passes through the beam splitter, wherein the first arm extends to the converging optical unit without deflection after reflection at the mirror device, wherein the second arm extends to the converging optical unit without deflection after passing through the beam splitter, and wherein the collection optic merges the first arm and the second arm for interference.

    Abstract: A method for estimating an input spectrum from sensor data acquired by an optical sensor assembly, having an aperture, a Fabry-Perot interferometer, and an optical sensor element, the method including: obtaining first calibration data representative of a spectral response function of the optical sensor assembly for a first setting of the aperture; computing second calibration data from the first calibration data, the second calibration data being representative of a spectral response function of the optical sensor assembly for a second setting of the aperture, where the second setting corresponds to a setting applied during the acquiring of the sensor data; and estimating the input spectrum as a function of the second calibration data and the sensor data. Additionally, a corresponding system for estimating an input spectrum

    Abstract: A method for determining reflectivity of a tear film lipid layer of a patient and recommending a course of treatment based on the same. The method includes the steps of: measuring a tear film aqueous plus lipid layer relative reflectance spectrum using a wavelength-dependent optical interferometer; converting the measured tear film aqueous plus lipid layer relative reflectance spectrum to a calculated absolute reflectance spectrum; comparing the calculated absolute reflectance spectrum to a theoretical absolute lipid reflectance spectrum to determine a tear film lipid layer thickness; and determining a reflectivity value for the tear film lipid layer thickness at a first wavelength of light corresponding to ultraviolet, violet, or blue light.
