    Abstract: A spectrometer 1A is constituted with an optical body 10, a glass member 11 formed with a light entry slit 12, and a connecting flange 20. The connecting flange 20 is provided with an opening 21 to which the glass member 11 is positioned and inserted, and with positioning rods 25 provided in positions in front of and behind the opening 21 as positioned relative to the opening 21. Using the positioning rods 25, when the spectrometer 1A is applied to the measuring apparatus, makes it possible to connect the spectrometer 1A and other components of the measuring apparatus through a passive alignment method simply with high accuracy. Thus, a spectrometer capable of favorably achieving optical connection to light to be optically separated and a measuring apparatus using the spectrometer can be realized.

    Abstract: A spectrum analyzer device is provided having an optical “pixel” sensor array in a focal plane on a single chip, and a dedicated processor for each optical sensor that performs a pixel-based calculation of the power spectral density for the illumination captured by the optical sensor. Photoelectrons are maintained on the chip, thereby resulting in a significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio for the device. The device includes a sensor array having optical sensors arranged in a focal plane, where each optical sensor outputs a photon output signal upon receiving reflected illumination. The device also includes transform analysis units which receive the photon output signals from corresponding optical sensors and output power spectral density signals. Sampling circuits output the power spectral density signals from corresponding transform analysis units, and an array storage device receives the power spectral density signals from the sampling circuits and converts them to corresponding illumination intensity signals.

    Abstract: Complementary surface fabrication processes such as molding, casting, embossing, and so forth, are used to produce articles, structures, or components structured to operate as sandwich waveguides. Resulting complementary surface artifacts include, for example, optical quality surfaces on wall parts, other exposed artifacts that occur where a complementary solid surface contacts non-solid material during fabrication, and sub-surface artifacts such as integrally formed connections between wall parts and base parts. A body whose surface includes a waveguide's inward surfaces, outward surfaces, and light interface surfaces to receive incident light can be formed in a single step, leaving a partially bounded fluidic region that can then be covered to provide a channel that is bounded along a length yet open at its ends; other fluidic, electrical, and optical components can also be attached.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide an infrared (IR) retinal system and method for making and using the IR retinal system. The IR retinal system can include adaptive sensor elements, whose properties including, e.g., spectral response, signal-to-noise ratio, polarization, or amplitude can be tailored at pixel level by changing the applied bias voltage across the detector. “Color” imagery can be obtained from the IR retinal system by using a single focal plane array. The IR sensor elements can be spectrally, spatially and temporally adaptive using quantum-confined transitions in nanoscale quantum dots. The IR sensor elements can be used as building blocks of an infrared retina, similar to cones of human retina, and can be designed to work in the long-wave infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from about 8 μm to about 12 μm as well as the mid-wave portion ranging from about 3 μm to about 5 μm.

    Abstract: An integrated spectral sensing engine featuring energy sources and detectors within a single package that includes sample interfacing optics and acquisition and processing electronics. The miniaturized sensor is optimized for specific laboratory and field-based measurements by integration into a handheld format. Design and fabrication components support high volume manufacturing. Spectral selectivity is provided by either continuous variable optical filters or filter matrix devices. The sensor's response covers the range from 200 nm to 25 μm based on various solid-state detectors. The wavelength range can be extended by the use of filter-matrix devices. Measurement modes include transmittance/absorbance, turbidity (light scattering) and fluorescence (emission). On board data processing includes raw data acquisition, data massaging and the output of computed results. Sensor applications include water and environmental, food and beverage, chemical and petroleum, and medical analyses. These can be expanded into various field and consumer-based applications.

    Abstract: A spectrophotometer capable of high spectral resolution (e.g., in the GHz range) is presented. The spectrophotometer includes a container for holding a sample, an arrayed-waveguide grating coupled to the sample holder, and a detector array coupled to the arrayed-waveguide grating. The arrayed-waveguide grating may be a monolithic chip, and the container may be integrated into the chip. An integrated container may be a microfluidic channel formed through the layers in the chip and positioned in such a way that light is transferable from the microfluidic channel to the waveguides of the arrayed-waveguide grating.The invention is also a method of making the spectrophotometer. The method entails providing an arrayed-waveguide grating having an input end and an output end, coupling a container to the input end, wherein the container is capable of holding a sample, and coupling a detector array to the output end of the arrayed-waveguide grating.
