Abstract: The invention relates to angle-limiting optical reflectors and optical dispersive devices such as optical spectrum analyzers using the same. The reflector has two reflective surfaces arranged in a two-dimensional corner reflector configuration for reflecting incident light back with a shift, and includes two prisms having a gap therebetween that is tilted to reflect unwanted light and transmit wanted light. A two-pass optical spectrum analyzer utilizes the reflector to block unwanted multi-pass modes that may otherwise exist and degrade the wavelength selectivity of the device.

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: In a gas phase analyte testing method a laser beam is generated using a laser beam from a laser gain medium located within an external laser cavity. A gain parameter of the laser gain medium is changed so that the laser gain medium emits across a range of wavelengths in response to the change. The beam is passed through a test sample as the gain parameter is changed, the test sample being positioned inside the external laser cavity. A change in the spatial or spectral mode distribution or dynamics of the laser emission spectrum is detected. It is then determined whether the change in the spatial or spectral mode distribution or dynamics of the laser emission spectrum is caused by the test sample.

Abstract: Methods of measuring a sample characteristic and accessories for infrared (IR) spectrometers are provided. An accessory includes an input port and an output port having an optical path therebetween, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) structure for contacting a sample, a mirror system, and an optical element for producing collimated light. The SPR structure produces internally reflected light responsive to broadband IR light, modified by a SPR between the SPR structure and the sample. The mirror system directs the broadband IR light from the input port to the SPR structure and directs the internally reflected light from the SPR structure to the output port, producing output light indicative of a characteristic of the sample associated with the SPR. The optical element is disposed along the optical path between the input port and the output port.
