Abstract:
The present invention relates to a light quality evaluating device, comprising a light receiving unit, first processing unit, a memory unit, a second processing unit, a display unit, and a power management unit, and being used for evaluating the light quality light based on physiological perception of human. In evaluating operation, it transfers a power spectrum of the light emitted from a light source to a luminance spectrum of light through a luminosity function. Next, the method compares the luminance spectrum of light with a corresponding luminance spectrum of blackbody radiation thereof. Therefore, an index of spectral resemblance with respect to the black body radiation (SRBR) would be calculated and then obtained, such that the SRBR can be used for evaluating the quality of the light emitted from the light source. Moreover, comparing to conventional CRI, SRBR is a better light quality evaluating method because of having fairness and consistency.

Abstract:
A compact analyzer includes a flow cell having a flow channel through which a sample is made to pass. First and second light sources are arranged to emit first and second excitation light into first and second overlapping portions of the flow channel, respectively. The first excitation light stimulates a first light emission from particles of a first particle type that may be present in the sample; the second excitation light stimulates a second light emission from particles of a second particle type. A detector receives the first and second light emission from the corresponding particles present in the sample in a detection portion of the flow channel, and provides a detector output based on the received light emission. The light sources are modulated at different frequencies so that a frequency analysis of the detector output can provide separate information about the first and second particle types.

Abstract:
An improved apparatus and method for performing Raman spectroscopy in a scattering medium, where the scattering induced phase modulation is compensated by using a spatial light modulator to shape the wavefront of the laser beam. This allows the laser beam to be focused to a spot inside the inhomogeneous material with low distortion, thus stimulating Raman signal from the focus point for spectral analysis.
Abstract:
The present invention has a laser and a second energy source act in combination to produce a plasma that emits characteristic radiation for a prolonged period of time. The laser energy is directed to a sample for a period of time to ignite a plasma containing the sample material and to either ablate or vaporize the sample. Energy from a second energy source is supplied to the plasma for a second period of time so that the characteristic radiation emitted by the plasma is maintained. The emitted radiation is used to identify chemical elements contained in the sample. The second period of time is typically larger than the first period of time and may be as long as many milliseconds.Supplying energy for this longer period of time allows the plasma to grow in size and contributes to the large enhancement in the detection sensitivity of the present invention.
