    Abstract: Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) devices for analysis of geological and related samples, and related methods. In the method, a scanning table having a geological core is moved from a start position to an end position for each position in a plurality of positions of the scanning table corresponding to an e region of interest of the geological core. At each position, laser ablation is performed on the exposed surface of the geological core using an oscillating planar focus laser. Contemporaneously with performing laser ablation on the exposed surface of the geological core, spectroscopy is permitted on the emitted light received by a fiber optic receiver sharing an optical path with the oscillating planar focus laser.

    Abstract: The technology relates to detecting water or fouling on the exterior surface of a sensor cover, for instance due to precipitation or debris (fouling). Such objects on the sensor cover surface may degrade operation of the sensor, which can be problematic for vehicles operating in an autonomous driving mode. According to an aspect of the technology, a waveguide layer is provided on the sensor cover. A laser emits light at a selected wavelength along one side of the waveguide layer. The light waveform propagating along the waveguide layer is affected (distorted) by precipitation and/or fouling on the surface of this layer. A detector receives the distorted waveform. The system determines whether water and/or fouling is present based on the received waveform. This allows the system to determine whether to activate a cleaning module or to factor in the information when processing received sensor data.

    Abstract: The fire detection system is provided to enable early detection of a location where a fire may occur. When detecting a location which vibration reached in the optical fiber 104, the sensor unit 102 transmits information indicating the location to the information output unit 101. The gas state detection section 103 transmits information indicating the state of gas to the information output unit 101. The information output unit 101 receives the information indicating the location which the vibration reached in the optical fiber 104 and the information indicating the state of gas, and outputs information indicating a sign of a fire outbreak occurred when the state of gas meets a predetermined condition.

    Abstract: A method and system are presented for use in measuring one or more characteristics of patterned structures. The method comprises: performing measurements on a patterned structure by illuminating the structure with exciting light to cause Raman scattering of one or more excited regions of the pattern structure, while applying a controlled change of at least temperature condition of the patterned structure, and detecting the Raman scattering, and generating corresponding measured data indicative of a temperature dependence of the detected Raman scattering; and analyzing the measured data and generating data indicative of spatial profile of one or more properties of the patterned structure.
