    Abstract: In the channeled spectroscopic polarimetry, a measurement error of a parameter showing a spectropolarization characteristic of a sample is effectively removed, the error being generated by various variations in retardation of a retarder depending upon the state of the sample. With attention being focused that the retardation of the retarder may be kept constant by stabilization of an incident direction of light that transmits through the retarder, the retarder was arranged on the light source side with respect to the sample so as to effectively remove an influence relative to a measurement error, such as variations in direction of a light ray due to the sample.

    Abstract: A spectrometer for measuring a spectral signature of an object comprises fringe generating optics for use with a camera and a processor. The fringe generating optics are formed of front optics and birefringent optics. The front optics comprises a diffuser adapted to receive light from the object. The birefringent optics is adapted to receive light from the diffuser and to generate interference fringes. The camera is adapted to receive the interference fringes and the processor generates the spectral signature of the object. This spectrometer is an improved Fourier transform spectrometer suitable for use with digital cameras, such as cameras found in mobile devices.

    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for systems and methods for detecting chiral properties of materials and separating materials based on their chiral properties. A chiral vector is constructed from anisotropy properties of a polarization-dependent output signal from a sample. Different types of molecules from the sample can be differentiated based on a magnitude of the chiral vector. Chiral properties of the sample can be detected based on an angle of the chiral vector. The output signal can be a fluorescent emission from the sample and can be used to detect chiral properties of a substantially opaque sample.

    Abstract: A circular dichroism (CD) spectrometer includes an alignment mechanism that automatically adjusts the elements thereof at appropriate positions. The spectrometer has a focusing-lens position-and-orientation adjustment mechanism which adjusts the position and the orientation of the detector-side focusing lens. It also has a detector rotation mechanism which adjusts the orientation of the detector. Firstly, a control PC monitors the CD spectrum of D form of optical enantiomers, and the adjustment mechanism adjusts the focusing lens such that the monitored CD spectrum matches the reference spectrum related to the D form. Next, the control PC moniters CD spectrum of L form of optical enantiomers, and the adjustment mechanism adjusts the focusing lens such that the monitored CD spectrum of the D and L forms become symmetrical. And, the rotation mechanism adjusts the orientation of the detector such that the intensity of the detector signal is maximized.
