Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention can include a turbidity measuring device. Typically, the turbidity measuring device can include a fluidic module and a measurement module. The measurement module can removably couple to the fluidic module and be implemented to measure a turbidity of a liquid passing through the fluidic module. The fluidic module can include a sub-assembly that can form a deaerator within the fluidic module. In one instance, the deaerator can be implemented to separate entrained air and/or other gases from a continuous flow of liquid by means of nucleation before the liquid is assayed.

A detecting system for detecting an under-test light of an under-test object includes a light spatial distribution unit, a chromatic-dispersion light-splitting unit and a detecting unit. The light spatial distribution unit is disposed on a side of the under-test object to receive the under-test light and form a plurality of point light sources.

Methods and systems are described herein. One method includes scanning, using a sensor, a first wavelength range of refracted light emitted from a flame, revising a position of a prism and/or the sensor based on the scan of the first wavelength range, and scanning, using the sensor after revising the position of the prism and/or the sensor, a second wavelength range of refracted light emitted from the flame.
Abstract:
An in-line laser beam waist analyzer system includes an optical prism that picks off a portion of a second surface reflection from either a laser processing focus lens or a protective debris shield for the processing lens and directs that focused light to a pixelated detector. This provides real time monitoring of the focused laser beam while it is processing material by welding, cutting, drilling, scribing or marking, without disrupting the process.

Abstract:
A novel electro-optical sensor for the wideband and normalized translation of the two-dimensional position of a light beam transverse to its traveling direction into electrical position signals. Incident on the sensor is the light beam 122 which is divided with a beamsplitter 121 into a transmitted beam 123 and a reflected beam 124 which both have similar transverse motion behavior as the incident beam. From each of these divided beams the position is determined one-dimensionally with an one-dimensional optical position sensor, 125, 126. The one-dimensional position determination is done by dissecting each divided beam into two beams using a partitioning element. The outputted dissected beams have a power distribution that depends on the position of the divided beam relative to the partitioning element. Each beam is optically coupled to a photo detector which translates its power into an electric current. In each circuit 127, 128, the two photo detectors are reverse biased and electrically connected in series. The node connecting them is a current type position output. The sum current through the two photo detectors is determined using two current mirrors. The first mirrors the current through one photo detector, the second mirrors the output current of the first current mirror plus the current through the second photo detector and outputs a current type sum signal. Each position signal is normalized with respect to its sum signal using an analog-to-digital converter, 129, 130, with the sum signal coupled to the reference input and the position signal coupled to the regular signal input.
