Abstract:
A spectrograph usable more particularly in the far ultraviolet range. It comprises along the Rowland circle measuring blocks including photo-detectors. Said measuring blocks are movably mounted along a guiding rail materializing the Rowland circle. Motion means are provided for the displacement of the various measuring blocks along the guiding rail. Transmission means between the motion means and a measuring block constantly direct the latter towards the diffraction grating.
Abstract:
Configurations for a diffraction grating design and methods thereof are disclosed. The diffraction grating system can include an input waveguide located at a first location on or near a Rowland circle and multiple output waveguides located at a second and third location on or near the Rowland circle. The input waveguide may be located between the output waveguides and this configuration of input and output waveguides can reduce the footprint size of the device. In some examples, the optical component can function as a de-multiplexer. Additionally, the optical component may separate the input wavelength band into two output wavelength bands which are separated from one another by approximately 0.1 μm.
Abstract:
For the purpose of providing a light guiding member with a simple structure which is capable of suppressing risk that unnecessary light could be mixed in a primary optical path, a light guiding member according to the present invention includes an incident surface, a reflection surface which reflects a light flux from the incident surface, and a side surface disposed at a distance of 1.2 R or more from a center of the reflection surface, where R is a distance from the center to an edge portion of the reflection surface, in a direction perpendicular to a first cross-section including an incident light toward the reflection surface on an optical axis and a reflected light from the reflection surface on the optical axis.
Abstract:
A spectrometer includes an input unit for receiving an optical signal, a diffraction grating disposed on the transmission path of the optical signal for dispersing the optical signal into a plurality of spectral rays, an image sensor disposed on the transmission path of at least a portion of the spectral rays, and a waveguide device. A waveguide space is formed between the first and second reflective surfaces of the waveguide device. The optical signal is transmitted from the input unit to the diffraction grating via the waveguide space. The portion of the spectral rays is transmitted to the image sensor via the waveguide space. At least one opening is formed on the waveguide device, and is substantially parallel to the first and/or second reflective surface. A portion of the spectral rays and/or the optical signal diffuses from the opening out of the waveguide space without reaching the image sensor.
Abstract:
A spectrometer (100) and an optical input portion (32) thereof are disclosed. The optical input portion (32) comprises an assembly structure (322), and the assembly structure (322) is formed at a hole wall (321) of a through hole (3211) of the optical input portion (32). A light (L1) is incident into a dispersing element (2) of the spectrometer (100) along an optical path (13) after passing through the through hole (3211), and is dispersed by the dispersing element (2). The assembly structure (322) is used to be detachably assembled with an optical element (200). When the optical element (200) is assembled with the assembly structure (322), an optical axis of the optical element (200) is linked to the optical path (13). As a result, the light (L1) passing through the optical element (200) is incident to the dispersing element (2) along the optical axis and the optical path (13).

Abstract:
Analysis of energy emanating from a source having a focal plane by converting the energy from the source into modulated spectral components simultaneously distributed according to frequency along a flat field, using, for example, a modulator, and then detecting and demodulating the spectral components, for example by a fast Fourier transform or synchronous demodulator with a ruled grating interposable between the source and the detector and a linear variable bandpass filter interposable between the source and the detector.
Abstract:
An integrated, multi-wavelength laser having formed on a substrate (12) a plurality of active, individually selectable waveguides (14), a passive output waveguide (16), and a diffraction grating (18) formed in a Rowland-circle spectrometer geometry. The frequency of the lasing light is determined by-the geometrical relationship of the selected active waveguide, the diffraction grating, and the output waveguide. The active waveguides are positioned such that lasing light cannot diffract between two active waveguides. Little crosstalk occurs because no carrier depletion occurs in the output waveguide.
