Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Messlichtquelle zum Erzeugen von Messlicht mit einer gleichmäßigen räumlichen Beleuchtungsstärkeverteilung. Die Messlichtquelle umfasst einen Hohlkörper (01) mit einer diffus reflektierenden Innenfläche. Im Hohlkörper (01) sind ein konkaver, hohlspiegelförmiger Beleuchtungsraum (04), ein rohrartiger Lichtformungsraum (06) und ein konkaver, hohlspiegelförmiger Lichtaustrittsraum (07) ausgebildet, die eine gemeinsame Achse (03) aufweisen. Im Beleuchtungsraum (04) ist eine Lichtquelle (08) zum Erzeugen von Licht zumindest teilweise angeordnet. Der Lichtaustrittsraum (07) weist einen Lichtaustritt (14) auf. Der Beleuchtungsraum (04) und der Lichtaustrittsraum (07) stehen sich mit ihren Hohlspiegelformen gegenüber und sind durch den rohrartigen Lichtformungsraum (06) verbunden. Erfindungsgemäß ist im Hohlkörper (01) eine diffus reflektierende Reflexionsscheibe (11) zum Reflektieren des von der im Lichtaustrittsraum (07) angeordneten Innenfläche des Hohlkörpers (01) reflektierten Lichtes durch den Lichtaustritt (14) nach außerhalb des Hohlkörpers (01) angeordnet. Im Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Messanordnung zum Erfassen eines absoluten Reflexionsspektrums einer Probe und zum Durchführen einer Referenzmessung.
Abstract:
Provided is a microspectroscope capable of performing a wide range of mapping measurements with high detection sensitivity, at high speed, and with high wavelength resolution. A Raman spectroscopy device that comprises: a means that linearly irradiates excitation light; a movable stage for samples; an objective lens that condenses Raman light from the linear irradiation area; an entrance slit provided at an image formation position for the Raman light; a spectrometer that disperses light that has passed through the entrance slit; a CCD detector that detects Raman spectral images; and a control device that synchronizes the movable stage and the CCD detector and controls mapping measurement. The control means is configured so as to: control the movable stage and move the linear irradiation area in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; and execute a CCD detector cycle during stage movement, so as to obtain one average spectrum for the movement range of the linear irradiation area in one optical detection cycle.
Abstract:
A multi-mode imaging spectrometer that incorporates two orthogonally positioned entrance slits and is configurable between a first mode in which the system produces images of relatively wide spatial coverage with moderate spectral resolution, using a first one of the two slits, and a second mode in which the system produces images of a smaller spatial area with fine spectral resolution, using the other one of the two slits.
Abstract:
Technologies are described for monitoring characteristics of layers of integrated computational elements (ICEs) during fabrication using an in-situ spectrometer operated in step-scan mode in combination with lock-in or time-gated detection. As part of the step-scan mode, a wavelength selecting element of the spectrometer is discretely scanned to provide spectrally different instances of probe-light, such that each of the spectrally different instances of the probe-light is provided for a finite time interval. Additionally, an instance of the probe-light interacted during the finite time interval with the ICE layers includes a modulation that is being detected by the lock-in or time-gated detection over the finite time interval.
Abstract:
A hyperspectral imaging system and method are described herein for providing a hyperspectral image of an area of a remote object (e.g., scene of interest). The hyperspectral imaging system includes at least one optic, a scannable slit mechanism, a spectrometer, a two-dimensional image sensor, and a controller. The scannable slit mechanism can be a micro-electromechanical system spatial light modulator (MEMS SLM), a diffractive Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MOEMS) spatial light modulator (SLM), a digital light processing (DLP) system, a liquid crystal display, a rotating drum with at least one slit formed therein, or a rotating disk with at least one slit formed therein.
