Abstract: A spectrometer comprises a plurality of isolated optical channels comprising a plurality of isolated optical paths. The isolated optical paths decrease cross-talk among the optical paths and allow the spectrometer to have a decreased length with increased resolution. In many embodiments, the isolated optical paths comprise isolated parallel optical paths that allow the length of the device to be decreased substantially. In many embodiments, each isolated optical path extends from a filter of a filter array, through a lens of a lens array, through a channel of a support array, to a region of a sensor array. Each region of the sensor array comprises a plurality of sensor elements in which a location of the sensor element corresponds to the wavelength of light received based on an angle of light received at the location, the focal length of the lens and the central wavelength of the filter.

Abstract: In a color imaging system, multiple rendering devices are provided at different nodes along a network. Each rendering device has a color measurement instrument for calibrating the color presented by the rendering device. A rendering device may be a printer in which the measuring of color samples on a sheet rendered by the printer is provided by a sensor coupled to a transport mechanism which moves the sensor and sheet relative to each other, where the sensor provides light from the samples to a spectrograph. A rendering device may also be a display having a member supporting a color measuring instrument for receiving light from an area of the screen. The color measuring instruments provide for non-contact measurements of color samples rendered on a display or a sheet, and are self-calibrating by the use of calibration references.

Abstract: Metrological apparatus and a confocal sensor for use in such apparatus are described. The confocal sensor (1) has an optical pinhole (11) adapted for letting through a light beam (2). An optical assembly of the sensor has a first lens (12) having a refractive profile (121) and a diffractive profile (122) and a second lens (13) having at least a refractive profile (131). The refractive profile (121) of the first lens (12) and the refractive profile (131) of the second lens (13) focus the light beam (2) into a focused beam (21). The diffractive profile (122) of the first lens (12) creates longitudinal chromatic aberration so that the focused beam (21) has a focal zone with a longitudinal depth (R).
