Abstract:
Systems and techniques for improved spectroscopy. In some embodiments, mechanical and/or optical zoom mechanisms may be provided for monochromator systems. For example, movable detector systems allow a detector to be positioned with respect to a dispersive element in order to obtain a first resolution. The detector systems may then allow the detector to be positioned with respect to a dispersive element to obtain a second different resolution. In some embodiments, spectroscopy of a first sample region may be performed using a plurality of excitation wavelengths. Multiple detectors may be positioned to receive light associated with different ones of the plurality of excitation wavelengths.

Abstract:
A compact and robust imaging Raman spectrograph has a collimating input lens assembly, a spectral filter assembly, a transmission diffraction grating, a focusing lens assembly, and a light detector. The spectral filter assembly is located between the two lenses and comprises a notch or long-pass filter optical interference filter, a plurality of optical channel plates for limiting the optical acceptance angle of the light passing the optical interference filter, and a transmission diffraction grating, all mounted in a single assembly. The spectral filter assembly permits a very high degree of elastically scattered light rejection and excellent stray-light reduction and management, while permitting a high level of optical throughput to maximize the signal of the weakly scattered Raman signal.

Abstract:
A method and system for effecting an appearance model correction for a display unit, e.g., a CRT, using a polynomial-based algorithm is described. The correction may be effected in real time and is based on gamma values associated with the display. Strong correlations with the CIECAM02 specification are achieved according to the present disclosure. The correction functionality may be implemented using a colorimeter that includes a plurality of sensors/filter systems with non overlappng spectral responses, adequate for providing data capable of translation into standard coordinates system such as, CIE XYZ, CIE L*a*b*, or CIE Luv, as well as non-standard operable coordinate systems. The field of view of the colorimeter is chosen to closely track the response of the human eye using an optical path configured to select and limit the field of view in a manner that is insensitive to placement of the colorimeter on the source image. The optical path from the source image to the sensor is configured to select preferred light rays while rejecting undesirable light rays to maximize the signal/noise ratio. A rearward facing sensor channel is included to simultaneously measure ambient light impinging on the source image and feedback means to provide status and/or change of information.

Abstract:
A light amount is increased and an analyzing accuracy can be kept in accordance with an enlargement of a load angle, however, a scattered light tends to be loaded in an analysis accompanying the scattered light and a dynamic range of a concentration which can be measured becomes narrow. A light is dispersed by a light dispersing portion, a load angle of the received light is changed per wavelength, the load angle is made larger in the light of a wavelength having a small light amount, and the load angle is made smaller in the light a wavelength having a large light amount and used for an analysis accompanying a scattered light. Accordingly, it is possible to gain a dynamic range of a concentration which can be measured in the analysis accompanying the scattered light, while increasing the light amount and maintaining the analyzing accuracy.
Abstract:
In a spectrometer, preferably in a spectrometric microscope, input light is provided from a light source to a specimen via a source objective element (e.g., a Schwarzchild objective), and the aperture of the light source is matched to the aperture of the source objective element to maximize light throughput to the specimen. The light from the specimen is then collected at a collector objective element and delivered to a camera element, which in turn provides the light to a photosensitive detector. The apertures of the camera element and the collector objective element are also matched to maximize light throughput from the specimen to the detector. As a result, light loss from vignetting effects is reduced, improving the intensity and uniformity of illumination and the sensitivity and accuracy of spectral measurements.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a grating photometer comprising a light splitting box a preamplifier box, a photodiode array and optical assembly. The light splitting box has a light splitting chamber. There are provided a first extinction hole and second extinction hole respectively on the side wall of the light splitting chamber and on the preamplifier box to correspond to zero order spectrum line. The first hole is a through hole and the second hole is a blind hole the configuration of the first and second extinction holes direct the zero order spectrum to go into the second extinction hole, as a result, generates a rather small number of stray light in the light splitting chamber coming from the scattering of the zero order spectrum from the second extinction hole, thus suppresses effectively the stray light and improves tho signal-to-noise ratio of the photometer.
