Abstract: Optical properties of an object are determined via light provided to the object via a probe tip including a plurality of light source/light receiver pairs. Light is received from a first light source/light receiver pair, and the first light source/light receiver pair is arranged so that a first measurement generates data based on light from the object received from a first average optical depth or first thickness sensitivity. Light is received from a second light source/light receiver pair, and the second light source/light receiver pair is arranged so that a second measurement generates data based on light from the object received from a second average optical depth or a second thickness sensitivity. The second average optical depth is different from the first average optical depth. Optical properties of the object are determined based on the data generated by the first and second measurements.

Abstract: A color image forming apparatus, when a white LED is made to emit light onto a color image so that the reflected light can be detected, changes a color measuring condition in adaptation to a reflectance predicted for the image from the forming condition of the color image to be detected. The amount of reflected light is detected by photodiodes, and the image forming condition is adjusted, based on the detected amount of reflected light of each color image. Thereby, irrespective of the reflectance of each color image, the color measurement of each color image is effected with good accuracy, and the hue and density of the color image to be detected are accurately detected, thereby to form a color image with excellent color reproduction.

Abstract: A diffraction grating and a prism with the appropriate characteristics are employed to provide a combined dispersive characteristic that is substantially linear over the visible spectrum. Radiation from the grating and prism is collimated by a lens towards a detector array. The grating or a telecentric stop between the grating and prism is placed at a focal point of the lens in a telecentric arrangement so that equal magnification is achieved at the detector array. If the detector array is replaced by a plurality of optical channels, a multiplexer/demultiplexer is obtained. A one or two dimensional detector array may be used for detecting the characteristics of a radiation beam. Alternatively, a one or two dimensional array of optical channels may be employed in a multiplexer or demultiplex arrangement with a single output/input optical channel.
