Abstract: In an optical device, an elastic support unit includes a pair of levers which face in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction, a pair of first torsion support portions which are connected between the levers and the base, a pair of second torsion support portions which are connected between the pair of levers and the movable unit, and a first link member that bridges the levers. The levers and the first link member define a light passage opening. Each of connection positions between the levers and the first torsion support portions is located on a side opposite to the movable unit with respect to the center of the light passage opening in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. A maximum width of the light passage opening in the second direction is defined by a gap between the levers in the second direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a common-path cube-corner retroreflector interferometer with a large optical path difference and high stability, and an interference technique thereof. The interferometer adopts an asymmetric common-path beam splitting structure using right-angled cube-corner retroreflectors, comprising a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective beam splitter, a plane mirror, a first right-angled cube-corner retroreflector, a second right-angled cube-corner retroreflector and an optical path difference element. The incident light is divided into a first transmitted beam and a second reflected beam, which are respectively reflected by the plane mirror and the right-angled cube-corner retroreflectors several times and then split again, two beams of which become interference outputs along directions perpendicular to an incident direction of the incident light, and the other two beams become interference outputs along directions parallel to the incident light. The present disclosure also provides an interference technique based on the interferometer described above.

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: A system detects an analyte suspected of being present in a sample. The reader reads an optical tag on a substrate, which is configured to immobilize the tag on a substrate surface. The optical tag is bound to a probe and includes a plurality of pores that create an effective index of refraction. The plurality of pores and a thickness of the tag are selected for a reflectance property. The substrate is configured to contact a sample suspected of comprising an analyte. The probe is capable of binding specifically to the analyte. The reader is configured to expose the tag to light to generate a sample spectral signature that is a function of the effective index of refraction, the thickness of the optical tag, and whether the analyte is coupled to the probe. The sample spectral signature is compared to a reference to detect the analyte in the sample.

Abstract: A method is presented for determining path length fluctuations in an interferometer using a reference laser with an arbitrary frequency with respect to the measured light. The method includes: injecting reference light along signal paths of the interferometer; measuring interference between the reference light at an output of the interferometer; determining an optical phase difference between the reference light in the two signal paths of the interferometer by measuring intensity modulation of the interference between the reference light and subtracting an intended frequency modulation from the measured intensity modulation; accumulating an unwrapped phase difference between the reference light in the two signal paths of the interferometer, where the unwrapped phase difference is defined in relation to a reference; and determining path length fluctuation of light in the interferometer using the unwrapped phase difference.
