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: An optical head for receiving incident light is provided. The optical head comprises a transmissive cosine corrector and a reflector disposed to face the transmissive cosine corrector. The transmissive cosine corrector is disposed in an optical path of the incident light and shields the reflector from the incident light. The transmissive cosine corrector converts the incident light to scattered light having a Lambertian pattern. The reflector has an optical output section that transmits the scattered light and a reflective section that reflects the scattered light to the transmissive cosine corrector and/or the other portions of the reflective sections. An optical system using the optical head is also provided.

Abstract: A coupled-cavity ring-down spectrometer utilizes an optical resonator to increase the reflectivity of ring-down cavity mirrors by adding external optical cavities that recycle light to the main cavity. These input and output cavities are made up of at least one coupling mirror and at least one movable recycling mirror. The movable recycling mirrors are coupled to at least one piezoelectric transducer, which generates movement of the recycling mirrors. The coupled-cavity ring-down configuration achieves higher spectrometer finesse, sensitivity and dynamic range.

Abstract: A printer moves a color chart relative to a spectrometer that carries out spectral measurement on the color chart. The color chart, which is a color measurement target of the printer, includes a color patch and a white portion that is positioned in a first position and a second position. The first position and the second position interpose a color measurement position, in which the color patch is disposed, along a predetermined direction. The printer acquires measured values by carrying out spectral measurement for the color measurement position, the first position, and the second position, determines a reference value corresponding to the color measurement position based on the measured values of the first position and the second position, and determines a color measurement result of the color patch based on the measured value of the color measurement position and the reference value.
