Abstract: A hand-held, battery operated, single photon sensitivity phytoluminometer is claimed for rapid, simple nondestructive, noninvasive evaluation of photosynthetic topography in green leaves. All the steps for generating phytoluminescence are performed within a single, light tight enclosure. The sensitivity of the instrument is such that stress induced changes in photosynthesis can be detected seconds after occurrence. Thus phytoluminography is made an easily applied technique for practical use by all those concerned with plant life.

Abstract: A microscope is modified to allow for precise imaging of samples using different filters at different focal planes under computer control. A filter accessory includes a filter disc having bandpass filters. The filter disc may be rotated to move a selected filter into the optical path between a light source and the microscope sample. Adjustment of the image plane of the microscope is controlled by the computer using feedback from a lens position sensor.

Abstract: A fluorescent spectral analysis apparatus comprises a source of a laser beam, and first and second optical fibers to be inserted in an endoscope with forward ends extended from a distal end of the endoscope. The first optical fiber guides the laser beam emitted from the source to a subject portion to be analyzed and the second optical fiber transmits a fluorescent light generated from the subject portion due to irradiation with the laser beam. The fluorescent light is detected by a light-receiving element. The time interval between the instant of reception of the fluorescent light by the light receiver and the instant of generation of the laser beam from the source is measured.

Abstract: An ultraviolet light beam is split into two beams which are directed toward a reference cell and a sample cell, respectively. A mechanical rotating light chopper permits the reference and sample cells to be alternately illuminated. Radiation from the reference and sample cells is directed toward and sensed by a single photomultiplier tube. An up/down counter counts the number of photons impinging on the photomultiplier tube from the reference and sample cells. Photodiodes in conjunction with the mechanical light chopper cause the up/down counter to count up when photons are arriving from the sample cell and cause the up/down counter to count down when photons are arriving from the reference cell. A source intensity monitor prohibits further measurements after a preselected amount of incident flux has been sensed. The intensity monitor includes a photodetector circuit which senses a portion of the incident light. Pulses from the detector are fed to a counter and the number in the counter is compared to a preselected number which is set on a thumbwheel switch. When the comparison condition is met, the up/down counter of the fluorimeter is stopped.

Abstract: A time-to-frequency converter transforms an initial single-photon pulse into a transformed pulse such that the temporal waveform of the initial pulse is mapped to the spectrum of the transformed pulse. The time-to-frequency converter includes a dispersive optical element followed by a time lens. The spectrum of the transformed pulse is then measured to determine the arrival time of the initial pulse. The spectrum can be measured using a photon-counting spectrometer that spatially disperses the transformed pulse onto an single-photon detector array. Alternatively, an additional dispersive element can be used with the time-to-frequency converter to implement a time magnifier. The arrival time of the resulting time-magnified pulse can then be measured using time-correlated single-photon counting. This arrival time can then be divided by the magnification factor of the time magnifier to obtain the arrival time of the initial pulse.

Abstract: The present application relates generally to silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) detector arrays. In one aspect, there is a system including an array of cells each including a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) reverse-biased above a breakdown voltage of the SPAD. Each cell may further include trigger logic connected to the SPAD, and configured to output a trigger signal indicating whether the SPAD is in breakdown. Each cell may still further include a conditional recharge circuit configured to recharge the SPAD conditional upon both (i) the recharge circuit applying the recharge signal to the cell and (ii) the trigger signal output by the trigger logic of the cell indicating the SPAD of the cell is in breakdown.
