    Abstract: A frequency comb laser providing large comb spacing is disclosed. At least one embodiment includes a mode locked waveguide laser system. The mode locked waveguide laser includes a laser cavity having a waveguide, and a dispersion control unit (DCU) in the cavity. The DCU imparts an angular dispersion, group-velocity dispersion (GVD) and a spatial chirp to a beam propagating in the cavity. The DCU is capable of producing net GVD in a range from a positive value to a negative value. In some embodiments a tunable fiber frequency comb system configured as an optical frequency synthesizer is provided. In at least one embodiment a low phase noise micro-wave source may be implemented with a fiber comb laser having a comb spacing greater than about 1 GHz. The laser system is suitable for mass-producible fiber comb sources with large comb spacing and low noise. Applications include high-resolution spectroscopy.

    Abstract: A photometric device (18) for quantifying a nucleic acid in a sample (518) in a tube (58), comprises a light emission unit (28), a sample obtaining unit (38) for holding the tube (58) with the nucleic acid sample (518) and a detection unit (48) wherein the sample obtaining unit (38) is arranged in between the light emission unit (28) and the detection unit (48) in particular, the light emission unit (28) and the detection unit (48) are arranged to provide light through the sample obtaining unit (38) such that light of a first wavelength of about 230 nanometers and light of a second wavelength of about 260 nanometers are simultaneously detectable within the detection unit (48). The photometric device (18) allows for efficiently analysing the nucleic acid sample by only considering invisible light. In particular, content of nucleic acid such as particularly a RNA or a DNA and a nucleic acid/salt ratio can simultaneously be determined such that efficiency of quantification of the nucleic acid sample (518) can be increased. Furthermore, since in addition thereto the sample obtaining unit (38) is arranged to hold the tube (58) or cuvette and the light directly passes the sample (518) being arranged in the tube (58) or cuvette, loss of sample, contamination of sample, need of additional sample treatment equipment such as pipettes or additional tubes as well as frequent cleaning of optics of the photometric device can be printed or reduced.

    Abstract: Integrated spectroscopy systems are disclosed. In some examples, integrated tunable detectors, using one or multiple Fabry-Perot tunable filters, are provided. Other examples use integrated tunable sources. The tunable source combines one or multiple diodes, such as superluminescent light emitting diodes (SLED), and a Fabry Perot tunable filter or etalon. The advantages associated with the use of the tunable etalon are that it can be small, relatively low power consumption device. For example, newer microelectrical mechanical system (MEMS) implementations of these devices make them the size of a chip. This increases their robustness and also their performance. In some examples, an isolator, amplifier, and/or reference system is further provided integrated.

    Abstract: This invention provides for a removable/replaceable, wavelength-transforming sleeve/sheath to be placed around a primary UV radiation source that emits a primary UV wavelength spectral distribution; such that at least a portion of the sleeve/sheath transforms at least a portion of the primary UV wavelength spectral distribution to a different secondary wavelength spectral distribution. Additionally, the sleeve/sheath may help to prevent breakage of the primary UV radiation source and to contain the broken pieces in the event of breakage. In some embodiments, a portion of the sleeve/sheath may be coupled with a UV reflective surface to direct radiation in a preferred direction. Individual sleeves/sheaths may have various patterns of wavelength-transforming materials that emit one or more secondary wavelength spectral distributions and the sleeve/sheath may also have one or more sections that allow transmission of the primary UV wavelength spectral distribution.

    Abstract: An integrated swept wavelength optical source uses a filtered ASE signal with an optical amplifier and tracking filter. This source comprises a micro optical bench, a source for generating broadband light, a first tunable Fabry Perot filter, installed on the bench, for spectrally filtering the broadband light from the broadband source to generate a narrowband tunable signal, an amplifier, installed on the bench, for amplifying the tunable signal, and a second tunable Fabry Perot filter, installed on the bench, for spectrally filtering the amplified tunable signal from the amplifier. A self-tracking arrangement is also possible where a single tunable filter both generates the narrowband signal and spectrally filters the amplified signal. In some examples, two-stage amplification is provided. The use of a single bench implementation yields a low cost high performance system. For example, polarization control between components is no longer necessary.

    Abstract: An optical emission analyzer is provided with a circuit-closing switch (56) for changing the state of an arc-generating circuit 5 between the closed state and the open state and a reverse-blocking diode (55) for preventing a spark current from flowing into the circuit-closing switch (56). The circuit-closing switch (56) is turned on before the beginning of a spark discharge between a discharge electrode (31) and a sample (32) to initiate excitation of a coil (53). Consequently, the excitation current of the coil (53) can be increased to a target value within the duration of the spark discharge without using a low-inductance coil or increasing the switching frequency of a switching element (52).
