    Abstract: A spectrometer-equipped lighting device detects substances in an environment around the device. A fiber detector is optically coupled to receive light from a light source. The fiber detector has a bare area from which emanates an evanescent wave of light surrounding an exterior of the fiber detector to interact with the environment in which the fiber detector is exposed. The spectrometer, optically coupled to an opposite end of the fiber detector, detects the light output and in response, generates signals representative of the spectral power distribution of the light of the evanescent wave that has interacted with the surrounding environment. A controller analyzes the spectrometer generated signals and initiates action based on the analysis of the generated signals or outputs a report indicating an environmental condition detected by the spectrometer-equipped device.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an image generation device comprising a laser light source (1); a mirror assembly having two parabolic mirrors (3, 6) via which a scanning light beam (1a, 5) generated by the laser light source is directed onto a sample surface (9); a deflection device (2), in particular a micromirror scanner, which is controllable such that the scanning light beam (1a, 5) scans points of the sample surface in a targeted manner; and a detector (10) which detects radiation emanating from a scanned point of the sample surface. The spatial resolution of the image generation device is substantially defined by the narrowest possible focusing of the laser beam, and the accuracy of the adjustable deflection angle is defined by the micromirror scanner.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for analyzing gas by an optical method, according to which a gas sample, comprising gaseous species for which it is desired to determine the quantity, is subjected to an illuminating radiation generated by a light source. The method comprises detecting a radiation having crossed the gas, by means of a light sensor. According to the invention, the light source produces different successive illuminations, such that at each illumination, the spectrum of the illuminating radiation varies. During each illumination, the intensity of the radiation detected by the light sensor is recorded. A processor can estimate a quantity of each gaseous species as a function of the respective intensities measured during each illumination. The invention also relates to a gas analysis device implementing the method.
