    Abstract: An imaging spectrometer includes an all-reflective objective module that receives an image input and produces an objective module output at an exit slit, and an all-reflective collimating-and-imaging module that receives the objective module output as an objective-end input and produces a collimating-end output, wherein the collimating-and-imaging module comprises a reflective triplet. A dispersive element receives the collimating-end output and produces a dispersive-end input into the collimating-and-imaging module that is reflected through the collimating-and-imaging module to produce a spectral-image-end output. An imaging detector receives the spectral-image-end output of the collimating-and-imaging module. The objective module may be a three-mirror anastigmat having an integral corrector mirror therein, or an all-reflective, relayed optical system comprising a set of five powered mirrors whose powers sum to substantially zero. The collimating-and-imaging module may be optimized to minimize spectral smile.

    Abstract: A spectroscopy system having enhanced noise reduction that comprises (i) an arc lamp light source of emitted light, which emitted light is projected as an image of the light source; (ii) a slit aperture through which the emitted light is projected; and (iii) a detector operably associated with the slit aperture for detecting the emitted light. The slit aperture, the arc lamp, and the image of the arc lamp each have a major axis. The major axis of the slit aperture is oriented essentially orthogonally to the major axis of the image of the arc lamp, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the spectroscopy system is improved as compared to the signal-to-noise ratio of the spectroscopy system when the major axis of the slit aperture is oriented essentially parallel to the major axis of the image of the arc lamp.

    Abstract: An improved optical system is disclosed for rapid, accurate spectral analysis of the reflectivity or transmissivity of samples. A concave holographic diffraction grating oscillated at high speed is utilized to provide a rapid scanning of monochromatic light through a spectrum of wavelengths. The grating is positively driven at very high speed. The rapid scan by the grating enables the reduction of noise error by averaging over a large number of cycles. It also reduces the measurement time and thus prevents sample heating by excessive exposure to light energy. A filter wheel having opaque segments is rotated in the optical path and is synchronous with the grating. The filter wheel is divided into two arcuate segments separated by the opaque segments arranged approximately 180 degrees apart. One arcuate segment of the wheel transmits only first order light. The other arcuate segment transmits only second order light. Separate photodetectors are employed during infrared analysis of samples for detecting first order and second order wavelength transmissions and an electronic decoder apparatus is utilized for switching between detectors.

    Abstract: A light source for near-infrared transmission and reflection spectroscopy can be constructed from a combination of a high power blue or blue-green light emitting diode (LED) and a phosphor element based on an inorganic material. The phosphor element absorbs the LED light and, in response to the LED excitation, emits luminescence that continuously covers the 700-1050 nm range. One possible material that can be used for such a near-infrared emitting phosphor element is a single crystal rod of Ti+3 doped Sapphire. An alternative near-infrared emitting phosphor material is a disk or rectangular shaped composite of Ti+3 doped Sapphire powder embedded in a clear optical epoxy or silicone encapsulant. Such a combination of a blue LED for excitation of a phosphor element that emits in a broad wavelength band has been widely used in white LEDs where the emission is in the 400-700 nm range.
