Abstract: A method for determining spectral characteristics of an object is disclosed. A probe is positioned in proximity relative to the object and provides light to a surface of the object and receives light from the object. One or more critical heights are defined below which no specularly refelcted light is received and propagated. Prior to positioning the probe in proximity relative to the object, a plurality of position-sensitive calibration/normalization reference and a plurality of calibration/normalization measurements are taken with the probe at a plurality of predetermined positions with respect to the calibration/normalization reference. The intensity of light received is determined in a plurality of spectral bands with one or more measurements. The spectral characteristics of the object are determined based on the one or more measurements and based on data taken from one or more of the calibration/normalization measurements.

Abstract: The invention employs a linear variable interference filter, which can be manually moved back and forth along its long axis in front of a slit parallel to its short axis. Thus, the filter pass-band varies linearly from 4,000 angstroms to 10,000 angstroms with a pass-band half-width no greater than 65 angstroms. Therefore, this combination of filter and slit can be placed in front of a charge coupled device (CCD) or other electro-optical imaging device and real time images can be taken as the filter is slid back and forth. Magnifying optics, beam-splitters and scale illuminators can be used to make the scale visible within the field of view of the camera imager. Or, as a simpler embodiment, the graduated image scale could in the form of a hologram of a graduated image scale taken at distance consistent with the desired depth of focus of the camera/imager.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention provides a system wherein light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be tuned within a given range by selecting their operating drive current in order to obtain a precise wavelength. The present invention further provides a manner in which to calibrate and utilize an LED probe, such that the shift in wavelength for a known change in drive current is a known quantity. In general, the principle of wavelength shift for current drive changes for LEDs is utilized in order to allow better calibration and added flexibility in the use of LED sensors, particularly in applications when the precise wavelength is needed in order to obtain accurate measurements. The present invention also provides a system in which it is not necessary to know precise wavelengths of LEDs where precise wavelengths were needed in the past. Finally, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the operating wavelength of a light emitting element such as a light emitting diode.
