In implementations, an open path gas detector is disclosed that can include imaging or non-imaging optical components. The detector can include components that allow for misalignment of radiation received by the detector of about 1 without causing false alarms. In implementations, the detector can include a beam splitter or a wavelength-division multiplexing filter to allow for more of the radiation received by the detector to be detected by the sensors.
Abstract:
Spectroscopy systems and methods of comb-based spectroscopy are provided. A light source generates light corresponding to a frequency comb. A prism cavity is optically coupled to the light source. The prism cavity receives the generated light and produces first and second output light. The first output light is associated with reflection of the received light within the prism cavity. The second output light is associated with transmission of the received light through a prism of the prism cavity. A coupling system is coupled to the light source and the prism cavity. The coupling system adjusts a characteristic of at least one of the light source or the prism cavity, based on at least one of the first output light and the second output light. The characteristic is adjusted to increase optical coupling between the light source and the prism cavity and to compensate for a dispersion of the prism cavity.

A hand-held spectrometer includes at least one indicator light and a processor configured to control the at least one indicator light to indicate a state of the hand-held spectrometer selected from a group consisting of a background scanning state, a ready-to-scan-sample state, a signal strength state, a fluorescence intensity state, a sample match state, a sample classification state, an error state, a data transfer state, a battery charge state, and a memory capacity state. The sample match state can be, for example, one of a positive match state, a mixture match state, a negative match state, and a match error state. In some embodiments, the error state can be at least one of a background error state, a user error state, and an instrument error state, or any combination thereof.

A scatterometer system may include collection imaging optics for imaging the reflected light onto a multi-pixel sensor that collects and analyze the reflected light.
Abstract:
The present subject matter relates to methods of high-speed analysis of product samples. Light is directed to a portion of a product under analysis and reflected from or transmitted through the product toward an optical detector. Signals for the detector are compared with reference signals based on a portion of the illuminating light passing through a reference element to determine characteristics of the product under analysis. The products under analysis may be stationary, moved by an inspection point by conveyor or other means, or may be contained within a container, the container including a window portion through which the product illuminating light may pass.
Abstract:
An intracavity laser absorption infrared spectroscopy system for detecting trace analytes in vapor samples. The system uses a spectrometer in communications with control electronics, wherein the control electronics contain an analyte database that contains absorption profiles for each analyte the system is used to detect. The system can not only detect the presence of specific analytes, but identify them as well. The spectrometer uses a hollow cavity waveguide that creates a continuous loop inside of the device, thus creating a large path length and eliminating the need to mechanically adjust the path length to achieve a high Q-factor. In a preferred embodiment, the laser source may serve as the detector, thus eliminating the need for a separate detector.
Abstract:
A method directs a gas of interest into a minicell and uses an emitting laser to produce laser emission light that is directed into the minicell and onto the gas of interest. The laser emission light is reflected within the cell to make multipasses through the gas of interest. After the multipasses through the gas of interest the laser light is analyzed to produces gas spectroscopy data. The minicell receives the gas of interest and a transmitting optic connected to the minicell that directs a beam into the minicell and onto the gas of interest. A receiving optic connected to the minicell receives the beam from the gas of interest and directs the beam to an analyzer that produces gas spectroscopy data.
