    Abstract: A new architecture for implementing a time-resolved Raman spectrometer is 2-3 orders of magnitude faster than current systems. In one embodiment, the invention employs a rotating optical switch to time multiplex an input signal through multiple band-pass filters and into a single optical detector which is electrically activated only when the filtered input light pulse is about to impact it.Time-multiplexing the input signal through multiple optical filters and time-sequencing the optical detector enables the device to detect and analyze 2-3 orders of magnitude faster than current designs. In one embodiment, the system may be employed for the diagnostics of a pathological condition of skin tissue in patients, such as malignant melanoma or other types of skin cancers and abnormal conditions.

    Abstract: A diffraction grating and a prism with the appropriate characteristics are employed to provide a combined dispersive characteristic that is substantially linear over the visible spectrum. Radiation from the grating and prism is collimated by a lens towards a detector array. The grating or a telecentric stop between the grating and prism is placed at a focal point of the lens in a telecentric arrangement so that equal magnification is achieved at the detector array. If the detector array is replaced by a plurality of optical channels, a multiplexer/demultiplexer is obtained.

    Abstract: An optical analysis system employs a rectangular beam of light passing through interference filters to analyze the constituents of a test sample moving through the beam. A plurality of interference filters are moved successively through the beam between the source of the beam and the sample and are tilted about an axis as they are moved, thereby transmitting a range of wavelengths to the sample. Skew rays of light in the beam strike the filters at different angles from the angles at which rays parallel to the axis of the beam strike the filters and so transmit wavelengths different from those of rays parallel to the axis of the beam. The angle deviation is greatest for the skew light rays which are skewed from the axis of the beam in a plane perpendicular to the tilt axis of the filters. Thus, the shorter dimension of the rectangular beam is arranged to be perpendicular to the tilt axis of the filters.
