Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotationally asymmetric chaotic optical multi-pass cavity useful in optical gas sensing spectroscopy, optical delay lines, and laser amplification systems, for example. The cavity may include a single closed mirror having a light reflective surface that is deformed in two orthogonal directions and more particularly, but not exclusively, in the shape of a quadrupole in both horizontal and vertical planes. The cavity includes a light entry port and a light exit port which may be the same or separate ports, as well as a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The optical path length, the beam divergence rate, and the spot pattern are controlled by selecting the cavity deformation coefficients and the input beam direction to achieve the desired beam path and beam quality.

Abstract: Provided are a light source evaluation device, a light source adjustment system, a light source evaluation system, and a light source evaluation method whereby it is possible to evaluate the characteristics of a solar simulator, which is a light source for measuring the characteristics of a solar cell, without creating a reference cell or pseudo cell tailored to the spectral sensitivity of a solar cell to be measured. Said evaluation is performed by calculating an evaluation value of the characteristics of the light emitted by a solar simulator in comparison to natural sunlight on the basis of the spectral irradiance of the light emitted by a solar simulator as measured by a spectroradiometer, the spectral irradiance of natural sunlight, and the pre-measured spectral sensitivity of the solar cell to be measured.

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

Abstract: A spectrometer 1A is provided with an integrating sphere 20 for observing measured light emitted from a sample S of a measurement target, and a Dewar vessel 50 which retains a medium R for regulating temperature of the sample S, so as to cover the sample S and a second container portion 50b of which is located so as to face the interior of the integrating sphere 20. The sample S can be easily regulated at a desired temperature with the use of the Dewar vessel 50 retaining the medium R so as to cover the sample S. As the second container portion 50b is located so as to face the interior of the integrating sphere 20, the temperature of the sample S is regulated by the medium R, while inhibiting an external ambience around the integrating sphere from affecting the sample S. Therefore, the sample S can be efficiently regulated at a desired temperature.

Abstract: A light fixture, using one or more solid state light emitting elements utilizes a diffusely reflect chamber to provide a virtual source of uniform output light, at an aperture or at a downstream optical processing element of the system. Systems disclosed herein also include a detector, which detects electromagnetic energy from the area intended to be illuminated by the system, of a wavelength absent from a spectrum of the combined light system output. A system controller is responsive to the signal from the detector. The controller typically may control one or more aspects of operation of the solid state light emitter(s), such as system ON-OFF state or system output intensity or color. Examples are also discussed that use the detection signal for other purposes, e.g. to capture data that may be carried on electromagnetic energy of the wavelength sensed by the detector.

Abstract: A system provides white light having a selectable spectral characteristic (e.g. a selectable color temperature) using an optical integrating cavity to combine energy of different wavelengths from different sources with white light. The cavity has a diffusely reflective interior surface and an aperture for allowing emission of combined light. Control of the intensity of emission of the sources sets the amount of primary color light of each wavelength added to the substantially white input light output and thus determines a spectral characteristic of the white light output through the aperture. A variety of different elements may optically process the combined light output, such a deflector, a variable iris, a lens, a variable focusing lens system, a collimator, a holographic diffuser and combinations thereof.
