Abstract: A low-cost laser power sensor having sufficient measurement accuracy with respect to received light intensity of the power sensor. The power sensor has a sensor substrate which receives monitor light, and a filter which attenuates the intensity of the laser beam before being received by the sensor substrate. The filter is constituted from a material having a laser transmissivity equal to zero, and has a plurality of openings within an irradiation range where the monitor light is irradiated. A summation of opening areas of the openings is equal to or more than 50% of the irradiation range. A part of the laser beam, which is irradiated to the filter and passes through the openings, is directly received by the sensor substrate.

Abstract: A custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) may provide strong signal integrity while reducing the load to a thermal system. Control and analog-to-digital conversion may be pushed into components close to the detector to maximize signal integrity. Processing functions may be performed at relatively high temperature, or the highest allowable temperatures, simplifying the system-level thermal design by not cooling components that do not require such cooling to function.

Abstract: A temperature compensation circuit for a light source (e.g., light emitting diode (LED)) whose radiant energy output decreases when ambient temperature increases includes a first circuit element for generating a first current that increases proportional to an increase in the ambient temperature, and a second circuit element for generating a second current that is first order independent of the ambient temperature. The circuit further includes a weighted current adder for generating a third current by combining the first and second currents with first and second weights applied to the first and second currents respectively. The circuit further includes a third circuit element responsive to the third current for supplying a fourth current to the light source to maintain a radiant energy output of the light source constant independent of the ambient temperature.

Abstract: A particle sensor is provided. The particle sensor includes a light projector that projects light to a detection area. A light receiver receives scattered light. The scattered light is light from the light projector that has been scattered by particles in the detection area. A first support supports the light receiver. A second support supports the light projector and has a linear expansion coefficient different from a linear expansion coefficient of the first support. The first support includes a first placement region in which the light receiver is disposed and a second placement region in which the second support is disposed. The first placement region and the second placement region are located at different distances from at least one of an optical axis of the light projector and an optical axis of the light receiver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a luminescence measuring device that includes a holder that holds a container for containing a sample, a plate member that holds the holder, a light detector that detects luminescence in the sample, and has a light receiving surface facing a bottom surface of the container, a first temperature control unit that performs control of a temperature of the light detector, and a ventilator that sends air to the light receiving surface of the light detector. The first temperature control unit may be provided on a side face of the light detector, and provided with a flow path therein. The air sending may be performed via the flow path in the first temperature control unit, so that the air having the same temperature as that of the light detector is sent to the light receiving surface.

Abstract: An illumination device and method is provided herein for calibrating individual LEDs in the illumination device, so as to obtain a desired luminous flux and a desired chromaticity of the device over changes in drive current, temperature, and over time as the LEDs age. The calibration method may include subjecting the illumination device to a first ambient temperature, successively applying at least three different drive currents to a first LED to produce illumination at three or more different levels of brightness, obtaining a plurality of optical measurements from the illumination produced by the first LED at each of the at least three different drive currents, obtaining a plurality of electrical measurements from the photodetector and storing results of the obtaining steps within the illumination device to calibrate the first LED at the first ambient temperature. The plurality of optical measurements may generally include luminous flux and chromaticity, the plurality of electrical measurements may generally include induced photocurrents and forward voltages, and the calibration method steps may be repeated for each LED included within the illumination device and upon subjecting the illumination device to a second ambient temperature.
