Abstract: A modular hyperspectral thermal camera that combines a wide field-of-view with a low erroneous recognition rate is described. The modular hyperspectral thermal camera provides such low erroneous recognition rates without any requirement for cryogenically cooling the associated optical components. The modular nature of the hyperspectral thermal camera permits easy exchange of the optical components and so provides a device that is easily calibrated and varied in resolution. In addition the modular nature allows the hyperspectral thermal camera to be readily converted to a broad band thermal camera, a full field spectrograph or a thermal bandpass filter camera, as required.

Abstract: A dispersive filter includes two dispersion systems with an intermediate slit between them. The two dispersion systems have similar but mirror image dispersion characteristics at the plane of the intermediate slit and are configured so that the entrance port of the dispersive filter is polychromatically imaged on the exit port. The intermediate slit passes blocks selected wavelengths and transmits the remaining dispersed wavelengths from the first dispersion system to the second dispersion system. The second dispersion system combines the dispersed beam that passes through the intermediate slit to form an output beam, which is focused on the exit port. In this manner, the radiance of the input radiation is preserved ignoring losses caused by the optical elements and the blocked wavelengths.

Abstract: Pulse laser light transmitted through a laser light transmission optical fiber to an optical system unit passes through a distribution reflecting mirror and is condensed by a condenser lens group. The condenser lens group irradiates the condensed laser light onto an analysis object. The fluorescence emitted as a result of the irradiation of the pulse laser light onto the analysis object is condensed by the condenser lens group and is reflected by the distribution reflecting mirror. The optical system unit transmits the fluorescence reflected by the distribution reflecting mirror through an fluorescence transmission optical fiber to a fluorescence measuring instrument. The fluorescence measuring instrument determines the quantity of elements included in the analysis object on the basis of the fluorescence.
