Abstract:
The current invention considers the spectrum as a multimodal distribution over a list of structures containing the wavelength as the main entry and the other information mentioned above in the list as additional entries. Each line is then given a probability of contributing to the spectral line. In the case of multiple spectral lines, inference between spectral lines and their respective levels of confidence will provide a complete picture of the list of probable emitters with a probability factor for each line in order to provide a quantitative assignment of the spectral lines and profiling for a given spectrum.
Abstract:
A frequency registration deviation is quantified for a field spectrum collected during analysis by a spectroscopic analysis system of a sample fluid when the spectroscopic analysis system has deviated from a standard calibration state. The field spectrum is corrected based on the frequency registration deviation using at least one spectral shift technique, and a concentration is calculated for at least one analyte represented by the field spectrum using the corrected field spectrum. Related systems, methods, and articles are described.
Abstract:
An enclosed benchtop Raman spectrometry device, systems, methods, and techniques related thereto are disclosed. A benchtop Raman spectrometer can comprise an enclosure enclosing a probe and sample. In an embodiment, a compliance component can determine concurrent satisfaction of a group of compliance rules. The compliance rules can relate to contact between the probe and sample, environmental conditions within the enclosure, illumination conditions within the enclosure, an operation state of a viewport allowing direct viewing of a sample-probe interface, etc. While concurrent satisfaction is determined, the release of optical energy for interrogation of the sample via the probe can be enabled. In an embodiment, the probe can comprise a spherical optical element, e.g., a BallProbe®, which can be brought into contact with the sample to perform Raman spectroscopy.
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.

Provided is a terahertz wave spectrometry system that is capable of easily identifying and quantitating an analyzing target molecule in an analyte, even if the analyte contains water, by calculating a baseline function expressing the absorption characteristic of water peculiar to the terahertz wave.
Abstract:
A method for correcting an infrared absorption spectrum comprises the steps of:—providing a measured infrared absorption spectrum from a sample,—determining a baseline correction curve by using at least one spectral interval in which an absorption quantity is expected to be null for at least two wavelength quantities,—subtracting the baseline correction curve from the measured infrared absorption spectrum, to obtain a first corrected absorption spectrum,—extracting at least one absorption band whose position is out of the fingerprint region,—comparing each extracted absorption band with the expected absorption band,—correcting the baseline correction curve in accordance with the results of the comparing step, to obtain a corrected baseline correction curve, and—subtracting the corrected baseline correction curve from the measured infrared absorption spectrum, to obtain a second corrected absorption spectrum.
Abstract:
Provided is a Fourier transform spectroscopy method that removes restrictions on spectral resolution and spectral accuracy in Fourier transform spectroscopy for observing a cyclic repeating phenomenon, that realizes, theoretically, infinitesimal spectral resolution accuracy. After accurately and sufficiently stabilizing the repetition period of a phenomenon, a temporal waveform is acquired by making a repetition period and a time width for observing the temporal waveform of a phenomenon strictly conform, and by performing a Fourier transform, acquired is a discrete separation spectrum in which the inverse number of the observation time window size T is made a frequency data gap. Measurement is repeated while causing the repetition period to change, and the gap of the discrete separation spectrum is supplemented. Thereby, in a case of an observation target in which the existence time of a phenomenon is longer than the repetition period, the spectral resolution of the obtained discrete separation spectrum becomes infinitesimal.
Abstract:
A method for determining a custom power spectral distribution (PSD) for use in a specialized light source and a lighting system. The method includes obtaining a PSD corresponding to light that is output by the lighting system, obtaining a constraint, and determining the custom PSD by optimizing (minimizing or maximizing), subject to the constraint, an evaluation function comprising the PSD, an unwanted light function, a wanted light function, or another characteristic function.
