Abstract: A spectrometer for sampling interferograms in two dimensions offering a large spectral band and high spectral resolution with a relative compactness. The spectrometer includes a refracting surface, an array of detecting elements and an array of diffusion elements capturing means at the refracting surface of an interferogram delivered from two interference beams (F1, F2) and forming interference lines parallel to each other along the transverse axis (Ox) of the interferogram within the plane (xOy) of the refracting surface, the array of detection elements being parallel to the plane of the refracting surface and arranged to detect the spatial distribution of the interferogram, wherein the array is a two-dimensional array over an entirety of which the detections elements are disposed equidistantly, and wherein interference lines exhibit an angular shift with the capturing means.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provides methods and systems for synthesizing optical signals with high frequency stability. Using a set of external optical signal manipulators and control systems, embodiments of the invention enhance the resolution of any frequency reference and thereby alleviates the needs for ultra-high-Q cavities in frequency-stable optical signal synthesis. The invention consequently improves the performance of any optical signal generator by a substantial margin, while maintaining the system complexity and power dissipation at levels comparable to the original systems.

Abstract: Color calibration of color image rendering devices, such as large color displays, which operate by either projection or emission of images, utilize internal color measurement instrument or external color measurement modules locatable on a wall or speaker. A dual use camera is provided for a portable or laptop computer, or a cellular phone, handset, personal digital assistant or other handheld device with a digital camera, in which one of the camera or a display is movable with respect to the other to enable the camera in a first mode to capture images of the display for enabling calibration of the display, and in a second mode for capturing image other than of the display. The displays may represent rendering devices for enabling virtual proofing in a network, or may be part of stand-alone systems and apparatuses for color calibration. Improved calibration is also provided for sensing and correcting for non-uniformities of rendering devices, such as color displays, printer, presses, or other color image rendering device.
