Abstract:
The present invention provides a one-dimensional global rainbow measurement device and a measurement method. The measurement device comprises three parts, i.e., a laser emission unit, a signal collection unit and a signal processing unit. The laser emission unit is modulated to be a light sheet by a laser beam emitted by a laser, and configured to irradiate droplets in a spray field to generate rainbow signals. The signal collection unit is configured to separately image, by an optical system unit, the rainbow signals at measurement points of different height onto different row pixels of a CCD signal collector. The signal processing unit is configured to convert the received rainbow signals and process by a computer the rainbow signals in a form of data to obtain the measured values. The present invention can analyze gas-liquid phase flow fields during the injection, realize the online measurement of fuel atomization, spray and other processes, and can measure the refractive index, size, temperature and other parameters of the spray droplets in a real-time and non-contact manner.

A spectrometer comprises a package having a stem and a cap, an optical unit arranged on the stem, and a lead pin penetrating through the stem. The optical unit has a dispersive part for dispersing and reflecting light entering from a light entrance part of the cap, a light detection element for detecting the light dispersed and reflected by the dispersive part, a support for supporting the light detection element such as to form a space between the dispersive part and the light detection element, a projection projecting from the support, and a wiring electrically connected to the light detection element. The projection is arranged at such a position as to be separated from the stem. The lead pin is electrically connected to the second terminal part while being disposed to the projection.

The dielectric layer (103) has a thickness which is less than or equal to half a predefinable lower limit wavelength which is less than the upper limit wavelength.
Abstract:
An optical emission spectroscopic (OES) instrument includes a spectrometer, a processor and an adjustable mask controlled by the processor. The adjustable mask defines a portion of an analytical gap imaged by the spectrometer. The instrument automatically adjusts the size and position of an opening in the mask, so the spectrometer images an optimal portion of plasma formed in the analytical gap, thereby improving signal and noise characteristics of the instrument, without requiring tedious and time-consuming manual adjustment of the mask during manufacture or use.

Abstract:
An optical module of a micro spectrometer with tapered slit and slit structure thereof. The optical module includes an input section and a micro diffraction grating. The input section includes a slit structure, which receives a first optical signal and outputs a second optical signal travelling along a first optical path. The slit structure includes a substrate and a slit, which penetrates through the substrate and has a gradually reduced dimension from a first surface of the substrate to a second surface of the substrate. The micro diffraction grating, disposed on the first optical path, receives the second optical signal and separates the second optical signal into a plurality of spectrum components travelling along a second optical path. The optical module of the micro spectrometer with the tapered slit and slit structure thereof according to the embodiment of the invention can be manufactured in a mass-production manner using the semiconductor manufacturing processes, so that the cost can be decreased, and the slit can have a smooth surface, which avoids the negative effect on the incident light.

An electromagnetic wave is scattered by the scatterers to produce diffracted waves, and by using the fact that interference patterns between the diffracted waves change with wavelengths, signals are detected for respective wavelengths by photoelectric conversion elements 12B, 12G, and 12R in each photodiode group 12.
