Abstract: This invention relates to a light delivery and collection device for performing spectroscopic analysis of a subject. The light delivery and collection device comprises a reflective cavity with two apertures. The first aperture is configured to receive excitation light which then diverges and projects onto the second aperture. The second aperture is configured to be applied close to the subject such that the reflective cavity substantially forms an enclosure covering a large area of the subject. The excitation light enters and interacts with the covered area of the subject to produce inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission from the subject. The reflective cavity has a specular reflective surface with high reflectivity to the excitation light as well as to the inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission from the subject. The reflective cavity reflects the excitation light that is reflected and/or back-scattered from the subject and redirects it towards the subject. This causes more excitation light to penetrate into a diffusely scattering subject to produce inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission from inside of the subject hence enabling sub-surface measurement. In addition, the reflective cavity reflects the inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission from the subject unless the inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission either emits from the first aperture of the reflective cavity to be measured with a spectrometer device, or re-enters the subject at the second aperture. This multi-reflection process improves the collection efficiency of the inelastic scattering or fluorescence emission from the subject.

Abstract: An optical device includes: a diffraction grating; a depolarization plate containing a birefringent material to eliminate polarization dependency of the diffraction grating; and an optical corrector configured to optically correct diffraction angle deviation of diffracted light due to diffraction at the diffraction grating. The optical corrector may be configured to bend back the diffracted light diffracted by the diffraction grating to re-emit the light to the diffraction grating.

Abstract: A protective sheath having a closed end and an open end is sized to receive a hand held spectrometer. The spectrometer can be placed in the sheath to calibrate the spectrometer and to measure samples. In a calibration orientation, an optical head of the spectrometer can be oriented toward the closed end of the sheath where a calibration material is located. In a measurement orientation, the optical head of the spectrometer can be oriented toward the open end of the sheath in order to measure a sample. To change the orientation, the spectrometer can be removed from the sheath container and placed in the sheath container with the calibration orientation or the measurement orientation. Accessory container covers can be provided and placed on the open end of the sheath with samples placed therein in order to provide improved measurements.

Abstract: The use of a transdermal Raman spectrum to measure glucose or other substance concentration can give an inaccurate result if the Raman signals originate at a wrong skin depth. To predict whether a spectrum of Raman signals received transdermally in a confocal detector apparatus and having at least one component expected to have an intensity representing the concentration of glucose or another skin component at a point of origin of the Raman signals below the surface of the skin will accurately represent the concentration, peaks in the spectrum at 883/4 cm−1 and 894 cm−1 are measured to determine whether the Raman signals originate primarily within the stratum corneum so that the spectrum will be less likely to represent the concentration accurately or originate primarily below the stratum corneum so that the spectrum will be more likely to represent the concentration accurately.

Abstract: Modular systems can be used for optical analysis, including in-situ analysis, of stimulated liquids. An excitation module can include a radiation sources, e.g., a laser, LED, lamp, etc. A detection module can include one or more detectors configured to receive spectral and/or temporal information from a stimulated liquid. Such systems can be used to identify or measure optical emissions including fluorescence or scattering. The efficient excitation of liquid samples and collection of emissions from the samples provides substantial, up to four-fold increase in the emission signal over prior systems. In an example, emission measurements can be conducted in an isolated sample compartment, such as using interchangeable modules for discrete sampling, flow-through sampling, or sampling via fiber probe. The systems and methods described herein can be used to characterize natural aquatic environments, including assessments of phytoplankton pigments, biomass, structure, physiology, organic matter, and oil pollution.
