Abstract: Expanded performance opportunities for imaging spectrometers are described using ϕ-polynomial freeform surfaces in reflective and diffractive optics. The imaging spectrometers are generally of a type that include an entrance aperture for admitting radiation over a range of wavelengths, a detector array, a primary reflective optic with optical power, a secondary reflective diffractive optic, and a tertiary reflective optic with optical power for collectively imaging the entrance aperture onto the detector array through a range of dispersed positions. One or more of the primary reflective optic, the secondary reflective diffractive optic, and the tertiary reflective optic can include a ϕ-polynomial optical surface with no axis of symmetry and represented by a function that depends on both a radial component and an azimuthal component.

Abstract: Method for measuring and processing by means of a broadband spectrometer (1) a spectrum of light (7) generated by an XUV source for generating light in a wavelength range from soft x-rays to infrared wavelengths, wherein the processing is based on the assessment of a wavelength range in the measured spectrum which has a negligible higher order contribution to longer-wavelengths than said range.

Abstract: A method of securing a modulation range of a wavelength-variable radiation source as part of the measurement of an absorption line of a substance comprises: the radiation source being controlled to transmit radiation such that the wavelength of the radiation runs through the modulation range in accordance with a time pattern; the radiation being filtered by means of a filter in whose pass band the absorption line is disposed and which has at least one filter flank whose actual wavelength is within the modulation range; a spectrum of the filtered radiation being determined in that the intensity of the filtered radiation is detected with respect to the time pattern; and a determination being made whether the spectrum has the at least one filter flank.

Abstract: A spectroscope includes a light receiving element and a wavelength selection filter unit. The light receiving element includes a pixel region where a plurality of pixels are disposed. The wavelength selection filter unit is disposed on the pixel region and includes a plurality of wavelength selection filters. The plurality of wavelength selection filters have transmission wavelength characteristics which are different from each other, and split incident light for each wavelength or each wavelength band. The light receiving element generates a light receiving signal by photoelectrically converting light which is split by the wavelength selection filter and is incident on the pixel region, for each pixel.

Abstract: A wideband spectrograph apparatus includes a first spectrograph assembly and one or more subsequent spectrograph assemblies. Each subsequent spectrograph assembly is optically coupled to a previous spectrograph assembly and is configured to receive a cascading beam from one or more dispersion elements of the previous spectrograph assembly. The first spectrograph assembly is configured for detecting illumination in a first wavelength range and the one or more subsequent spectrograph assemblies are configured for detecting illumination in wavelength ranges different from the first or any previous wavelength ranges to provide simultaneous sampling of different spectral portions of an input beam.

Abstract: A spectral colorimetric apparatus comprises a light source, a spectral element, a light receiving element, a substrate on which the light receiving element is mounted, a housing and a pressing portion. The housing has a first side wall on which the substrate is fixed and a second side wall on which the spectral element is fixed. The pressing portion pinches the spectral element together with the second side wall and presses the spectral element to the second side wall.

Abstract: An imaging system (200) for generating a measure of authenticity of an object (10) comprises a dispersive imaging arrangement (30) and an image sensor arrangement (60). They are positioned so that, when electromagnetic radiation (20) from the object (10) illuminates the dispersive imaging arrangement (30), the electromagnetic radiation is dispersed and imaged by the image sensor arrangement (60). The imaging system (200) is configured to then generate a measure of authenticity of the object (10) depending at least on a relation between the imaged dispersed electromagnetic radiation and reference spectral information. The invention also relates to imaging methods, computer programs, computer program products, and storage mediums.

Abstract: A projection display device comprising a light source and an SBG device having a multiplicity of separate SBG elements sandwiched between transparent substrates to which transparent electrodes have been applied. The substrates function as a light guide. A least one transparent electrode comprises a plurality of independently switchable transparent electrode elements, each electrode element substantially overlaying a unique SBG element. Each SBG element encodes image information to be projected on an image surface. Light coupled into the light guide undergoes total internal reflection until diffracted out to the light guide by an activated SBG element. The SBG diffracts light out of the light guide to form an image region on an image surface when subjected to an applied voltage via said transparent electrodes.

Abstract: A design method of a spectrometer and a spectrometer are disclosed, including the following steps: 1) determining an incident angle of a second incident slit and a groove-shaped cycle of a concave grating; 2) estimating a blaze angle of the concave grating, determining a surface material and a groove-shaped structure of the concave grating; 3) acquiring wavelength-diffraction efficiency curves; 4) determining values of incident angles θA1 and θA3 and values of wavelengths λ2 and λ3, and setting λ4 to equal λ2; 5) acquiring a record structural parameter and a use structural parameter; 6) determining a manufacture parameter of the concave grating; 7) determining locations of the three incident slits and the three photodetectors relative to the concave grating. The spectrometer acquired by using this method has relatively high diffraction efficiency in most spectrum regions and effectively alleviates the problem of relatively low diffraction efficiency in a broad spectrum region.

Abstract: In an example, an Echelle grating wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) device includes a first waveguide, a slab waveguide, multiple second waveguides, an Echelle grating, and a metal-filled trench. The first waveguide includes either an input waveguide or an output waveguide. The multiple second waveguides are optically coupled to the first waveguide through the slab waveguide. The multiple second waveguides include multiple output waveguides if the first waveguide includes the input waveguide or multiple input waveguides if the first waveguide includes the output waveguide. The Echelle grating includes multiple grating teeth formed in the slab waveguide. The metal-filled trench forms a mirror at the grating teeth to reflect incident light from the first waveguide toward the multiple second waveguides or from the multiple second waveguides toward the first waveguide.
