Abstract:
A sample (OBJ1) that is an object whose quantum efficiency is to be measured, and a standard object (REF1) having a known reflectance characteristic are each attached to a sample window (2) provided in a plane mirror (5). Based on respective spectrums measured by a spectrometer in respective cases where the sample (OBJ1) is attached and the standard object (REF1) is attached, the quantum efficiency of the sample (OBJ1) is measured. The plane of an opening of an observation window (3) is made substantially coincident with the exposed surface of the sample (OBJ1) or standard object (REF1), so that direct incidence, on the observation window (3), of the fluorescence generated from the sample (OBJ1) receiving an excitation light (L1) and the excitation light (L1) reflected from sample (OBJ1) is prevented.

Abstract:
A system provides light of selectable spectral characteristic (e.g. a selectable color combination of light), for luminous applications such a signage and indicator lights (10). An optical integrating cavity (11) combines energy of different wavelengths from different sources, typically different colored LEDs. The cavity has a diffusively reflective interior surface (29) and an aperture (17) for allowing emission of combined light. Control of the intensity of emission of the sources sets the amount of each wavelength of light in the combined output and thus determines a spectral characteristic of the light output through the aperture. A deflector (25) shaped like a number, character, letter, or other symbol, may be coupled to a similarly shaped aperture. By combining several such fixtures, it is possible to spell out words and phrases, with selectable color lighting. Disclosed fixture examples use an extruded body member with appropriately located reflective surfaces to form both the cavity and deflector.

Abstract:
An individualized modeling equation for predicting a patient's blood glucose values is generated as a function of non-invasive spectral scans of a body part and an analysis of blood samples from the patient, and is stored on a central computer. The central computer predicts a blood glucose value for the patient as a function of the individualized modeling equation and a non-invasive spectral scan generated by a remote spectral device. If the spectral scan falls within the range of the modeling equation, the predicted blood glucose level is output to the patient. If the spectral scan falls outside the range of the modeling equation, regeneration of the model is required, and the patient takes a number of noninvasive scans and an invasive blood glucose level determination. The computer regenerates the individualized modeling equation as a function of the set of spectral scans and corresponding blood glucose values.
Abstract:
The method and apparatus of the present invention provides a system wherein light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (162) can be tuned within a given range by selecting their operating drive current in order to obtain a precise wavelength. The present invention further provides a manner in which to calibrate and utilize an LED probe (150), such that the shift in wavelength for a known change in drive current is a known quantity. In general, the principle of wavelength shift for current drive changes for LEDs is utilized in order to allow better calibration and added flexibility in the use of LED sensors, particularly in applications when the precise wavelength is needed in order to obtain accurate measurements. The present invention also provides a system in which it is not necessary to know precise wavelengths of LEDs where precise wavelengths were needed in the past. Finally, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the operating wavelength of a light-emitting element such a light-emitting diode.

A system and method of non-contact measurement of the dopant content of semiconductor material by reflecting infrared (IR) radiation off of the material into an integrating sphere to scatter the received radiation and passing portions of the radiation through band pass filters of differing wavelength ranges, comparing the level of energy passed through each filter and calculating the dopant content by referencing a correlation curve made up of known wafer dopant content for that system.
