    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiband common-optical-path image-spectrum associated remote sensing measurement system and method. The system includes an infrared window (1), a two-dimensional rotating mirror (2), a planar reflector (3), a reflective multiband infrared lens system (4), a Fourier interference spectrum module (5), an image-spectrum associated processing module (6), a power supply module (7), a refrigerating module (8), and a display module (9); the incident light enters from the infrared window (1), is reflected by the two-dimensional rotating mirror (2), and then is reflected by the planar reflector (3) to the reflective multiband infrared lens system (4) and then is split by a spectroscope (42); the transmitted light is focused by means of a convergent lens and is imaged on an infrared detector (43); the reflected light is focused on an infrared optical fiber coupler (44) and enters the Fourier interference spectrum module (5) through an infrared optical fiber to form an interference pattern, and further, spectrum data is obtained through Fourier transformation; the image-spectrum associated processing module (6) effectively combines broadband spectrum imaging and non-imaging spectrum data, and controls the two-dimensional rotating mirror (2) to point to a target, thereby implementing intelligent remote sensing measurement. The present invention has capabilities of performing local scene region spectrum measurement and multi-target tracking spectrum measurement, has high speed, an appropriate data amount, and low cost.

    Abstract: Detection sensitivity of optical computing devices may be improved by utilizing multiple integrated computational elements in combination with one another. Optical computing devices containing multiple integrated computational elements may comprise: two or more integrated computational elements that are identical to one another and optically interact sequentially with incident electromagnetic radiation, such that at least a portion of the photons from the incident electromagnetic radiation optically interacts with each integrated computational element; wherein the sequential optical interaction of the incident electromagnetic radiation with the two or more integrated computational elements increases a detection sensitivity of the optical computing device relative to that obtained when only one of the integrated computational elements is present; and a detector that receives the photons that have optically interacted with each integrated computational element.

    Abstract: Imaging spectrometers can be used to generate hyperspectral images for medical diagnoses, contaminant detection, and food safety inspections, among other applications. An exemplary imaging spectrometer includes an integrated position sensing array that measures the relative positions of the interferometer components based on an interference pattern generated by illuminating the interferometer with a reference beam. Such an imaging spectrometer includes a processor that controls the interferometer component position by actuating a voice coil and several piezo-electric elements to align the components with respect to each other and to provide a desired optical path length mismatch between the interferometer arms. In some cases, the processor may use feedback and feed forward control, possibly based on the actuators' transfer functions, for more precise positioning. The processor may also implement adaptive and recursive spectral sampling to reduce the image acquisition period.

    Abstract: An optical interferometer includes: a light source that emits a coherent first beam and a second beam that has a frequency difference corresponding to the natural frequency of a target molecule; amplitude modulating means that modulates the amplitude of the second beam; splitting means that splits the first beam into a reference beam and a first applied beam; optical path length adjusting means that adjusts the optical path length of the reference beam; and detecting means that detects an interference pattern between the reference beam and the first beam (a signal beam) that has experienced a stimulated Raman loss or gain in accordance with the amplitude modulation as a result of the frequency difference resonating with the target molecule when the first applied beam and a second applied beam (the amplitude modulated second beam) have been applied to a measurement position of an object.

    Abstract: The absolute spectral radiance of an unknown IR source is measured by bracketing the radiance measurements of the source over a spectral band with radiance measurements of a characterized blackbody at different temperatures. The absolute spectral radiance (or effective temperature) is calculated for the blackbody and paired with the relative radiance measurements. The absolute spectral radiance for the unknown IR source is derived via interpolation. The use of a characterized plate blackbody and a FTIRS allows for rapid and accurate characterization of the unknown IR source across a spectral band.
