Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an auto-focus spectrometer, including: a grating element configured to split light; an imaging element configured to converge a light beam; a controller configured to move the imaging element to realize autofocus, and connected to the imaging element; and a detector; and an incident light is diffracted through the grating to the imaging element, and then converged to the detector through the imaging element to obtain spectrogram information. The present disclosure automatically adjusts the imaging element position according to the configuration and operation state of the spectrometer, so that the spectrometer can be automatically kept at an optimal imaging position and exert the best performance thereof.
Abstract:
A spectroscope includes: light incidence means (1) configured to allow light from an outside to be incident; a diffraction grating (2) configured to disperse wavelengths of the light incident on the diffraction grating (2) by the light incidence means (1); reflecting means (3) having a reflecting surface having an inclination variable around a rotation axis of the reflecting surface; and light emitting means (4) configured to emit the light reflected by the reflecting means (3) to the outside. At least one of the light incidence means (1), the diffraction grating (2), and the reflecting means (3), and the light emitting means (4) are changeable in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis. The position of the light emitting means (4) is changeable in a direction along a center axis of the light emitted from the light emitting means (4).
Abstract:
A targeting system for a spectrophotometer includes a plurality of fiber channels, including at least one measurement channel and at least one illumination channel. A slit assembly includes a translucent layer disposed adjacent the plurality of fiber channels, and reflective portion disposed adjacent the translucent layer. Each fiber channel includes a first end, the first end offset from the reflective portion of the slit assembly to allow light transfer from one fiber channel to an adjacent fiber channel. A light source is in optical communication with the at least one illumination channel. A sample plane is in optical communication with a second end of the measurement channel. The system is configured such that light is transmitted from the light source, through the at least one illumination channel, reflected off the slit assembly, transmitted through the measurement channel, and onto the sample plane.
Abstract:
A spectral colorimetric apparatus includes a concave surface reflection type diffraction element configured to disperse an incident light beam; a sensor including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, wherein the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements is arranged in a direction parallel to a tangential line of a Rowland circle of the concave surface reflection type diffraction element, each photoelectric conversion elements being configured to receive the light beam dispersed by the concave surface reflection type diffraction element; a housing configured to support the concave surface reflection type diffraction element and the sensor; and a bonding portion provided on the housing, wherein the sensor is fixed to the housing with an adhesive provided between the bonding portion and the sensor. The bonding portion is provided only at a position corresponding to a center of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements of the sensor in the direction in which the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements is arranged.
Abstract:
A dispersive infrared spectrometer in which only a minimum number of optical components, for example, the detector (160) sub-system only, are housed within a cold/cryogenic dewar and the remaining optical components are at ambient temperature during operation of the spectrometer. In one example, the spectrometer includes a slit substrate (120) with a highly reflective surface, and the optical components of the spectrometer are configured and arranged such that for all in-band wavelengths, substantially all off-slit optical paths in the detector (160) field of view are retro-reflected off the reflective surface of the slit substrate (120) into the cryogenic dewar.
Abstract:
An imaging assembly for a spectrometer includes a substrate with first and second modules thereon containing respective arrays of detector elements positioned so the arrays are elongated along a first axis with a gap therebetween. A third module including a third array of detector elements is also thereon, spaced from the first axis, at least as long as the gap, and smaller than the elongation of either of the first or second arrays. Further thereon are first and second slits elongated along a second axis spaced from and generally parallel to the first axis, each being at least as long as the respective arrays. A third slit at least as long as the gap is also therein, spaced from the first axis, second axis, and third array such that the gap, third slit, and third array are generally along a third axis generally perpendicular to the first and second axis.
