Abstract: A spectroscope includes a diffraction grating having a plurality of ruled parallel lines; and a plurality of spectroscopic paths, each of which has a collimator for collimating incident light, emits the collimated light to the diffraction grating, and emits return light, which returns from the diffraction grating, through a slit provided on the path. In the spectroscope, measured light is emitted through the plurality of spectroscopic paths so as to extract light which is included in the measured light and has a predetermined wavelength; and the collimators of the spectroscopic paths are arranged so that irradiation areas of light emitted from the collimators are offset from each other at least in a direction along the ruled parallel lines. The collimators of the spectroscopic paths may be arranged so that incident angles of light emitted from the collimators coincide with each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical measurement apparatus and wideband light source apparatus equipped with a structure for making it possible in optical measurement utilizing light in a near-infrared region to expand the measurement range to the longer wavelength side in the near-infrared region. The optical measurement apparatus comprises a wideband light source apparatus for outputting irradiation light to irradiate an object to be measured, and a detector for detecting the light arriving from the object irradiated with the irradiation light. The wideband light source apparatus comprises a light source section, and an optical fiber for expanding the spectrum width in an intensity spectrum of seed light from the light source section. In particular, the wideband light source apparatus outputs light having an intensity spectrum with an expanded spectrum width within the optical fiber as irradiation light so as to maintain such a spectrum intensity as to compensate for the decrease in light-receiving sensitivity of the detector in a wavelength region in at least a part of a sensitivity-decreasing region of 2 μm to 3 μm where the light-receiving sensitivity of the detector decreases in the near-infrared region.

Abstract: An ultraviolet (UV) fluorometric sensor measures a chemical concentration in a sample based on the measured fluorescence of the sample. The sensor includes a controller, at least one UV light source, and at least one UV detector. The sensor emits UV light in a wavelength range of 245-265 nm from the light source through the sample in an analytical area. The UV detector measures the fluorescence emission from the sample. The controller transforms output signals from the UV detector into fluorescence values or optical densities for one or more wavelengths in the wavelength range of 265-340 nm. The controller calculates the chemical concentration of the chemical in the sample based on the measured fluorescence emissions.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical fiber for connecting a probe head and a base station of a spectroscopic analysis system for analyzing the molecular composition of a volume of interest. The optical fiber comprises a core for transmission of excitation radiation from the base station to the probe head and a first cladding for transmission of multi-mode return radiation from the probe head to a spectroscopic analysis unit of the base station. Preferably, the first cladding is surrounded by a second cladding and therefore provides a multi-mode wave guide by itself. Appropriately designing the dimensions of the core, the first cladding and the second cladding provides an optimal collection and coupling efficiency of the optical fiber. Coating of the distal end facet of the optical fiber with multi-layer optical filters allows an effective separation of elastically and inelastically scattered radiation which is of advantage for the spectroscopic analysis.
