    Abstract: A Littrow-type spectrometer or monochromator using a folded light path to provide a compact optical instrument is disclosed. Light enters the instrument through an inlet aperture on a planar mirror. The aperture is located at the focus of a parabolic collimator mirror. Collimated light reflected by the parabolic mirror is reflected back to the planar mirror, which is positioned at an angle to the collimated light. The light reflected from the planar mirror is directed at a planar grating that produces diffracted light having all the wavelengths input into the system, including light of a selected wavelength, back towards the planar mirror. Light having the selected wavelength is thus caused to fall on the parabolic mirror. The parabolic mirror then focuses the selected wavelength of light onto a light exit aperture that is juxtaposed to the inlet light aperture. The planar grating can be rotatably mounted to scan the input light spectrum.

    Abstract: An optical system having a first order spectral range that is usable in an optical spectrum analyzer receives an broadband optical test signal and a optical calibration signal and couples the optical signals via two optically isolated paths to separate optical detectors. First and second pairs of optical fibers, with each pair having an input fiber and an output fiber, are positioned in a focal plane of a collimating optic that has an optical axis. The fiber pairs are symmetrically positioned on either side of the optical axis with the input fibers positioned on one side of the optical axis and the output fibers positioned on the opposite side of the optical axis. The input fibers receive the optical test signal and the optical calibration signal. The output optical fibers are coupled to first and second optical detectors. An optical calibration source generates second order or greater spectral lines that fall within the first order spectral range of the optical system. A diffraction grating receives the optical test signal and the optical calibration signal from the collimating optic and separates the first order spectral components of the broadband optical test signal and passes the second order or greater spectral lines of the optical calibration signal. The first optical detector that is responsive to the first order spectral components of the optical test signal receives the optical test signal from the collimating optic and converts the optical test signal to an electrical signal. A second optical detector that is responsive to the second order or greater spectral lines of the optical calibration signal concurrently receives the optical calibration signal from the collimating optic and converts the calibrations signal to an electrical signal.

    Abstract: A small-spot imaging, spectrometry instrument for measuring properties of a sample has a polarization-scrambling element, such as a Lyot depolarizer, incorporated between the polarization-introducing components of the system, such as the beamsplitter, and the microscope objective of the system. The Lyot depolarizer varies polarization with wavelength. Sinusoidal perturbation in the resulting measured spectrum can be removed by data processing techniques or, if the depolarizer is thick or highly birefringent, may be narrower than the wavelength resolution of the instrument.

    Abstract: A color detecting apparatus and process in which light from a source is directed to a surface whose color is to be measured through an aspheric lens situated so that reflected radiation is returned to the aspheric lens along a reversely directed path. The aspheric lens collimates the reflected light from the surface and directs it to two or more detectors which are tuned to receive energy in two or more preselected band widths along paths which are substantially of equal length with each detector receiving energy in substantially same cross-sectional area of the collimated beam.

    Abstract: A cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy instrument has an optical cavity with two or more cavity mirrors, one mirror of which having a hole or other aperture for injecting a light beam, and the same or another mirror of which being partially transmissive to allow exit of light to a detector. A spherical-spherical configuration with at least one astigmatic mirror or a spherical-cylindrical configuration where the spherical mirror could also be astigmatic prevents a reentrant condition wherein the injected beam would prematurely exit the cavity through the aperture. This combination substantially increases the number of passes of the injected beam through a sample volume for sensitive detection of chemical species even in less than ideal conditions including low power laser or LED sources, poor mirror reflectivity or detector noise at the wavelengths of interest, or cavity alignment issues such as vibration or temperature and pressure changes.

    Abstract: A spectrometer (100) and an optical input portion (32) thereof are disclosed. The optical input portion (32) comprises an assembly structure (322), and the assembly structure (322) is formed at a hole wall (321) of a through hole (3211) of the optical input portion (32). A light (L1) is incident into a dispersing element (2) of the spectrometer (100) along an optical path (13) after passing through the through hole (3211), and is dispersed by the dispersing element (2). The assembly structure (322) is used to be detachably assembled with an optical element (200). When the optical element (200) is assembled with the assembly structure (322), an optical axis of the optical element (200) is linked to the optical path (13). As a result, the light (L1) passing through the optical element (200) is incident to the dispersing element (2) along the optical axis and the optical path (13).

    Abstract: This spectral-image-obtaining device includes: a line-spectral-image acquiring unit that acquires a plurality of line spectral images; a frame-image acquiring unit that has an image-capturing range that encompasses that over which image capturing is performed by the line-spectral-image acquiring unit and that acquires a two-dimensional frame image that contains fewer color signals than the line spectral images; a comparison-image estimating unit that estimates comparison images for all lines based on the line spectral images acquired by the line-spectral-image acquiring unit and a wavelength characteristic of the frame-image acquiring unit; a line-spectral-image positional-deviation detecting unit that detects amounts of positional deviation between the comparison images estimated by the comparison-image estimating unit and corresponding positions within the frame image; and a positional-deviation correcting unit that fits the line spectral images to corresponding positions within the frame image based on the amounts of positional deviation detected by the line-spectral-image positional-deviation detecting unit.
