Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting time-resolved fluorescence based on a principle of phase balanced frequency multiplication modulation. A stimulating light source modulated by using a baseband signal acts on a to-be-measured target to trigger fluorescence, so that the fluorescence intensifies and decays periodically; then, a frequency-doubled square signal is used to control a sampling period and divide an ascending period of the fluorescence into two and a decay period of the fluorescence into two; after independent sampling is performed separately, sampling differences of the two parts are separately calculated and then added to obtain an intensity representative value of a fluorescence signal and to obtain a concentration value of the to-be-measured target. The method in the present invention can not only likewise cancel fluorescence interference of a substrate in a sample, but also can cancel ambient bias light, power-frequency interference of a spatial electromagnetic wave or other signals, and therefore improves signal intensity in fluorescence measurement on the detection sample, has an advantage that cannot be accomplished in a conventional time-resolved fluorescence method, and can be applied in fluorescence intensity detection of a target in fields such as biology, chemistry, and medicine.

Abstract: A portable spectrometer device includes an illumination source for directing at a sample, and a tapered light pipe (TLP) for capturing light interacting with the sample at a first focal ratio and for delivering the light at a second focal ratio lower than the first focal ratio. A linearly variable filter (LVF) separates the captured light into a spectrum of constituent wavelength signals; and a detector array, including a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels disposed to receive at least a portion of a plurality of the constituent wavelength signals provides a power reading for each constituent wavelength. Preferably, the TLP is lensed at one end, and recessed in a protective boot with stepped inner walls. The gap between the TLP and LVF is minimized to further enhance resolution and robustness.

Abstract: Dual mode genetics testing systems are devised about a single element testing platform. A microfluidic network and system of interconnected receiving cells and reaction vessels supports at the same time genotyping and copy number analysis where the platform may be subject to a common thermal cycle schedule to cause the proper reactions (DNA replication) necessary in both test types. Further, the microfluidic platform which includes reaction vessels for genotyping which are spatially removed from reaction vessels for copy number analysis, is coupled to optical scanner and detection systems specifically arranged to apply test specific detection routines on each of these distinct regions or portions of the dual mode test platform.

Abstract: The devices and systems disclosed herein provide multiple optical capabilities in a single device or system. Methods for using these devices and systems are provided. These devices and systems are configurable for operation in each of a spectroscopy mode, a fluorescence mode, and a luminescence mode, and are capable of performing spectroscopic, fluorescence, and luminescence observations, measurements, and analyses when operated in the corresponding spectroscopy mode, fluorescence mode, or luminescence mode. These devices and systems include mirror dispersion elements having multiple faces including an optical dispersion element on one face (e.g., a diffraction grating or a prism) and a reflective element on another face (e.g., a mirror). These multiple capabilities eliminate the need to move or load a sample in multiple devices when subjecting a sample to multiple analyses, and thus provide greater accuracy, precision, and speed while reducing complexity and cost of sample analysis.

Abstract: In an inspection apparatus, a target on the surface is illuminated with illuminating radiation that comprises first and second illuminating components. The illuminating components form one or more periodic illuminating patterns on the surface. A plurality of scattered radiation patterns formed by the illuminating radiation after scattering by the target is captured at a detector for a number of values of a controllable characteristic of at least one of the illuminating components. The captured radiation is then used to reconstruct data describing the target.

Abstract: A transient grating (TG) is used as an optical gating element with sub-picosecond time resolution for luminescence measurements from a photo-detector array. The transient grating is formed in a gate medium by one or more pulsed gate beams. For photoluminescence measurements such as photoluminescence spectroscopy or imaging, a source is excited by a pulsed excitation beam, and the pulsed gate beams are synchronized to the pulsed excitation beam with an adjustable delay between the excitation of the source and the formation of the TG. Moreover, a source or its spectra can be imaged at two different regions of the photo-detector array at two different times spaced in time by a selected duration of time with sub-picosecond resolution over a range of a nanosecond or more. A beam from the source is deflected to the different regions by changing the frequency or geometry of the pulsed gate beams.
