    Abstract: A laser beam is scanned on a sample while a wavelength of the laser beam is varied. Quantity of fluorescence from the sample is detected. Absorption wavelength spectral characteristic data of fluorescence indicators whose kinds are known and which dye the sample is acquired. The absorption wavelength spectral characteristic data of a site to be discriminated is compared with the absorption wavelength spectral characteristic data of each of the fluorescence indicators of known kinds. The kind of fluorescence indicator dyeing the site to be discriminated is discriminated from a result of the comparison.

    Abstract: An apparatus is described which detects the presence or absence of coherent light and provides an estimate of the coherent light's wavelength. The apparatus employs a common-path "polarization interferometer" in which the two linear polarization paths act as interferometer legs. Electro-optic modulation is used to effect periodic differential path length changes in the interferometer. The apparatus performs synchronous time-integrating detection on the light emerging from the interferometer to measure coherent contributions in the presence of obscuring incoherent light.

    Abstract: A remote gas measuring apparatus and method utilizes the optical absorption line characteristics to determine an amount of gas of interest as may exist in an area under study. The remote gas measuring apparatus includes a source of electromagnetic radiation that can be projected toward the area in question and a light collecting arrangement. The light signal received is coupled to a fast light switch modulator which modulates the light signal to a first frequency. A second modulating arrangement modulates the light signal to a second frequency and includes a birefringent etalon device having a periodic spacing equal to the periodicity of the absorption lines of the gas of interest. The second modulating means is further effective such that, when an electric field is applied thereto the transmission spectra associated with the light signal is shifted between spectra which coincide with the absorption lines and spectra which fall between the absorption lines. The light signal from the etalon device is then conditioned and input to a detector configuration which distinguishes between the light signal at the first frequency and the light signal at the second frequency in order to determine at least a quantity of the gas of interest.

    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for improving one or more of jitter/timing, signal-to-noise ratio, signal integrity, stability, and repeatability of generation and measurement of Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) signals generated by a sample upon illumination by a light beam. The method may use precision hardware to control the generation of SHG signal and synchronize it with the optical detection process to improve the reliability and accuracy of measured SHG signals. A precise measurement of the initial SHG signal (Io) involves accurate temporal alignment between optical excitation and detection of the resulting SHG signal. Various disclosed systems and methods use high-speed Pockels Cell (PC) for controlling incident light, and precision electronics for synchronization.
