    Abstract: An optical system for performing an absorption measurement of a medium sample includes a laser source configured to output a laser beam having a wavelength corresponding to an absorption region of interest; a ringdown cavity comprising a chamber configured to receive the medium sample, an input mirror at an input end, an output mirror at an output end, and an optical axis that extends through the centers of the input mirror and the output mirror; a coupling device configured to couple the laser beam through the input mirror into the chamber; and a detector optically coupled with the cavity, and configured to detect an intensity of light of the wavelength corresponding to the absorption region of interest that extends through the output mirror, wherein a cavity geometry of the cavity increases the re-entrant condition of the cavity relative to a conventional cavity comprised of two spherical mirrors.

    Abstract: A hand-held scanning probe is included in an optical scanning system. The hand-held scanning probe includes a housing and an optical component. The optical component includes a first lens, a reflector, a two-dimensional beam scanning mechanism, a splitter and a second lens. The first lens is used to receive a laser beam split by a fiber-coupled splitter and convert the laser beam into a form of collimated light. The reflector is used to refract the laser beam. The two-dimensional beam scanning mechanism provides the laser beam to a surface for two-dimensional scanning, producing a swing beam. The splitter is used to separate a scanning end beam returned from the test specimen from an illumination beam into two different light paths. The second lens is used to focus the swing beam at the test surface to form the scanning end beam for scanning. An optical scanning system is also provided.

    Abstract: An inspection system includes: a single light source part which irradiates an incident light to an inspection object; a main lens through which reflected light, reflected from an inspection object and including a first polarization component and a second polarization component, passes; a beam splitter which splits a reflected light passing through a main lens into a first split light and a second split light; a first polarizer including a first filter area which selectively passes a first polarization component therethrough; a second polarizer including a second filter area which selectively passes a second polarization component therethrough; and an image sensor which generates a first captured image for a first polarization component and a second captured image for a second polarization component.

    Abstract: Devices and methods to perform Raman spectroscopy with a structured excitation profile to obtain a Raman excitation map. A device includes a broadband light source to emit a broadband light beam and excitation optics to disperse the broadband light beam to strike a sample as incident light according to a structured excitation profile. The device further includes analysis optics to collect scattered light scattered by the incident light striking the sample, block Rayleigh scatter from the collected scattered light in a manner complementary to the structured excitation profile, and direct Raman scatter from the collected scattered light to a sensor to generate a signal to form a Raman excitation map.
