    Abstract: The invention features a multi-spectral microscopy system for illuminating a sample with light of a selectable spectral content and generating an image of the sample in response to the illumination. The multi-spectral microscopy system includes a multispectral illuminator that provides output radiation having the selectable spectral content. A preferred set of optical arrangements for the multispectral illuminator generates the output radiation so that the spectral content of the output radiation is substantially uniform across its transverse profile. Furthermore, the multispectral illuminator can include monitoring optics and a corresponding detector array that independently monitors the output in each spectral band of the radiation produced by the multispectral illuminator. The monitoring provides calibration, feedback, and/or source aging information to insure robust and reliable performance for the multispectral illuminator. The multi-spectral microscopy system also includes a microscope which illuminates the sample with light derived from the output of the multispectral illuminator, and beam modification optics, which modify the output from the lamp prior to the microscope to increase the light efficiency of the microscope and fully exploit field of view and resolution of the microscope.

    Abstract: A spectrograph includes a base, a first optic mounted with respect to the base, a second optic mounted with respect to the base, and a third optic mounted with respect to the base. A first relative position between the first optic and the second optic is adjustable about a first pivot axis. A second relative position between the second optic and the third optic is adjustable about a second pivot axis independently from the adjustability of the relative position between the first optic and the second optic. The second pivot axis is substantially coincident with the first pivot axis, and a distance between the third optic and the second optic is fixed during adjustment of the second relative position.

    Abstract: A hyperspectral imaging apparatus based on a monolithic or free space optical spatial heterodyne spectrometer (SHS) design, array detector, electromagnetic radiation source, and optical collection element is described. The apparatus enables the simultaneous acquisition of spatially isolated Fizeau fringe patterns, each having an encoded light product that is decoded to produce a spectral fingerprint of the interrogated object. Features specific to the SHS, such as a large entrance aperture, large acceptance angle, and no moving parts, enable a variety of optical collection schemes including lens arrays, solid-core and hollow core waveguides, and others. In one example, a microlens array (MLA) is configured with the hyperspectral imaging apparatus to simultaneously image many hundred spatially isolated Fizeau fringe patterns while interrogating an object using an electromagnetic radiation source. Each Fizeau fringe pattern recorded by the array detector is decoded to produce a full Raman or laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) spectrum. Compared to prior art, the hyperspectral imaging apparatus overcomes the primary limitations of needing to trade time resolution for both spectral and spatial data density because the imaging apparatus simultaneously acquires both spectral and special information. Based on the selection and configuration of diffraction gratings, the grating aperture size, Littrow wavelength (i.e., heterodyne wavelength), and optical collection configuration, the apparatus can be tailored to produced low or high spectral resolution with a spectral bandpass that covers a portion or the entire Raman spectral range (up to 4200 cm−1) and for LIBS as well.

    Abstract: A method for obtaining a polarized orbital angular momentum Raman spectrum using vector vortex beams, includes the steps of emitting a polarized laser light from a laser source. The polarized laser light is passed through a narrow band filter that is then passed through a section of wave plates (quarter or half wave plate) to generate polarized light (linear, circular, radial and azimuthal), then through a q-plate (vortex retarder or spiral plate) to give a vortex structure topology carrying orbital angular momentum with a helical phase. The polarized vector vortex light is then directed to contact a sample, thereby producing a Raman scatter beam. The Raman scatter beam is passed back and collected into a spectrometer, thereby obtaining a Raman scattering spectrum of the sample to investigate the matching of the multipoles of the material and the multipoles of the light. A method for transmission with Multiple expansions of orbital angular momentum in rat cerebellum tissue is also disclosed. In general, we use polarized Laguerre-Gaussian vector vortex beams as a topology multipole model to describe and study the light matter interaction for Raman and transmission using the fact that the optical vortices and material can possess Multipoles denoted as L in form of monopole (L=0), dipole (L=1), quadrupole (L=2), octupole (L=3), hexidecapole (L=4) and higher orders. These multipoles can be involved with the matching up with the symmetry of the moments involved with vibrational states in Raman processes.
