Abstract:
According to the invention, a method for compensating for temperature related measurement errors in an optical arrangement, comprising at least one lens (2) is designed with a view to an economical and reliable as possible compensation for temperature related measurement errors without significant increased production expense, wherein a multicoloured beam (5) is passed through the optical arrangement (1, 1'), which is focussed at points at varying distances from the lens (2) as a result of the chromatic aberration of the lens (2), at least a part of the spectrum of the light beam (5) being at least partly reflected within the optical arrangement (1, 1') and directed to a detector device (12) by means of which a determination of a spectrum is carried out, the temperature of the arrangement (1, 1') is determined from the spectrum recorded by the detection device (12) and a compensation for temperature related measurement errors is carried out based on the temperature determined thus. A corresponding optical arrangement in disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an LED spectrometer operating without moving parts, according to the sweep principle, and appropriate to serve as a structural component in many kinds of spectroscopic concentration analysers. The design of the invention affords the advantage that, even at its minimum, the optical power of the LED spectrometer of the invention is about fivefold compared with designs of prior art. Furthermore, improvement of the efficiency of the LED radiation source and of that of the optics has brought a multiple augmentation in power to the wavelength spectrum sent out by the radiation source. In the design of the invention, concentrators (6) of non-imaging type are used to collimate the wavelength spectrum emitted by the LEDs (3).
Abstract:
An optical relay having a pair of simple lenses and an opaque barrier defining an aperture. In a spectrometer, the optical relay is positioned between a light source and an opaque barrier defining a slit to focus light of a reference wavelength w r onto the slit. The location of the aperture and the choice of w r are selected so that the flux of light through the slit is substantially flat as a function of wavelength.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select wavelength resolution capable of detecting a real spectral peak of a sample based on measurer's experience and knowledge when a sample whose spectral shape is unknown is to be measured.SOLUTION: Wavelength resolution setting operation can be automatically set in accordance with a measurement spectrum. Therefore, a plurality of slits with respectively different aperture widths are prepared and a wavelength of monochromatic light passing an individual slit is scanned within a predetermined wavelength range to measure a spectrum in each aperture width of the slit. Based on compared results of a plurality of spectra measured about the slits with respectively different aperture widths, a slit condition for regulating relation between the aperture width of at least one slit to be used for measurement of the sample and at least one wavelength range applying the aperture width of the slit is determined.
