Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for evaluating thermal conductance of an interface on the basis of how much the phases of acoustic phonons, which are produced in a semiconductor, change on a semiconductor interface. The apparatus for evaluating thermal conductance of a semiconductor interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a spectrometer exciting acoustic phonons in a semiconductor by irradiating a laser beam to the semiconductor; and a processor evaluating thermal conductance of an interface of the semiconductor in accordance with a phase difference of a ascending acoustic phonon propagating toward the interface and reflecting from the interface and a descending acoustic phonon propagating in an opposite direction to the interface.

Abstract: An illuminator/collector assembly can deliver incident light to a sample and collect return light returning from the sample. A sensor can measure ray intensities as a function of ray position and ray angle for the collected return light. A ray selector can select a first subset of rays from the collected return light at the sensor that meet a first selection criterion. In some examples, the ray selector can aggregate ray intensities into bins, each bin corresponding to rays in the collected return light that traverse within the sample an estimated optical path length within a respective range of optical path lengths. A characterizer can determine a physical property of the sample, such as absorptivity, based on the ray intensities, ray positions, and ray angles for the first subset of rays. Accounting for variations in optical path length traversed within the sample can improve accuracy.

Abstract: A semiconductor device inspecting apparatus includes a light source for emitting light to a semiconductor pattern. The semiconductor pattern includes a structure that reflects the light from the light source. The semiconductor device inspecting apparatus further includes an objective optical system disposed in a path of the reflected light from the semiconductor pattern, and a first noise filter disposed in a path of the reflected light having passed through the objective optical system, the first noise filter including at least one bar pattern that filters a diffraction noise of the light. The semiconductor device inspecting apparatus additionally includes a second noise filter disposed in a path of the filtered light from the first noise filter, the second noise filter including an outer frame surrounding a central portion. The semiconductor device inspecting apparatus further includes a first photodetector detecting the light having passed through the second noise filter.

Abstract: A system and method to discriminate between a first preselected gas and at least one other preselected gas use of an absorption spectroscopy analyzer that includes a Herriott cell and a temperature sensitive light source. The light source operates at a temperature that emits a beam at a wavelength that corresponds to high absorption by a first preselected gas. When a predetermined level of this gas is detected in a gas sample, the analyzer changes the operating temperature of the light source to emit a beam at a wavelength that corresponds to high absorption by a second preselected gas. The second preselected gas can be a different isotope of the first preselected gas.

Abstract: A system and method are described for performing tear film structure measurement. A broadband light source illuminates the tear film. A spectrometer measures respective spectra of reflected light from at least one point of the tear film. A color camera performs large field of view imaging of the tear film, so as to obtain color information for all points of the tear film imaged by the color camera. A processing unit calibrates the camera at the point measured by the spectrometer so that the color obtained by the camera at the point matches the color of the spectrometer at the same point. The processing unit determines, from the color of respective points of the calibrated camera, thicknesses of one or more layers of the tear film at the respective points. Other applications are also described.

Abstract: A method for detecting clots in a liquid is presented. The liquid is in a sample container. Light is irradiated having a first wavelength to the sample container by a first light source at a changeable vertical irradiating position (P_0 to P_n) such that the light irradiated by the first light source passes through the sample container along a first measurement path. An intensity of light having the first wavelength passing along the first measurement path and exiting the sample container is measured. Clots are detected in response to the measured intensity.
