    Abstract: Optical characteristic measuring systems and methods such as for determining the color or other optical characteristics of teeth are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics are spaced apart from a source fiber optic and receive light from the surface of the object/tooth being measured. Light from the perimeter fiber optics pass to a variety of filters. The system utilizes the perimeter receiver fiber optics to determine information regarding the height and angle of the probe with respect to the object/tooth being measured. Under processor control, the optical characteristics measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence, gloss and/or surface texture data also may be obtained. Audio feedback may be provided to guide operator use of the system. The probe may have a removable or shielded tip for contamination prevention. A method of producing dental prostheses based on measured data also is disclosed. Measured data also may be stored and/or organized as part of a patient data base.

    Abstract: A rotary spectrometer including a plurality of input ports. Each input port may be arranged to receive an optical waveguide carrying electromagnetic radiation. The spectrometer also includes a plurality of optical bandpass filters, which are housed on a first body that rotates under the control of a motor so that each optical bandpass filter may be brought into alignment with each input port. Further, the spectrometer includes a plurality of detector circuits disposed on a second body that rotates with the first body. Each detector circuit is optoelectrically coupled to one of the plurality of optical bandpass filters, thereby resulting in each detector circuit being dedicated to responding to a range of wavelengths determined by the bandpass filter to which it is optoelectrically coupled.

    Abstract: In a wide band light sensing pixel array (100) comprising pixel groups (105), a ratio of a visible exposure period to a near infrared exposure period is controlled by a control circuit (108) to be essentially equivalent to a ratio of a second nominal sensitivity to a first nominal sensitivity. The visible exposure period is an exposure period of a set of visible light pixels having the first nominal sensitivity. The near infrared exposure period is an exposure period of a near infrared light pixel having the second nominal sensitivity. A subset of the set of visible light pixels and the near infrared light pixel in each pixel group (105) and circuit components associated only with the subset can be turned off during a reduced color mode.
