Abstract:
An optical analysis tool includes an integrated computational element (ICE). The ICE includes a plurality of layers stacked along a first axis. Constitutive materials of the layers are electrically conductive and patterned with corresponding patterns. An arrangement of the patterns with respect to each other is related to a characteristic of a sample.
Abstract:
Provided are a three-dimensional (3D) camera including a wavelength-variable light source for directly measuring transmittance and a method of measuring the transmittance. The 3D camera includes, as well as a light source, a transmission type shutter, and an image sensor, and a wavelength-variable light source capable of irradiating a light with a variable wavelength without being thermally affected by the light source, the image sensor, and the transmission type shutter. The wavelength-variable light source may directly measure a change in transmittance by irradiating light toward the transmission type shutter while the 3D camera operates.

Abstract:
An example of an optical accessory configured to produce an optical image depicting spectral characteristics of light. The produced optical image is captured by an image capture sensor of a mobile device. The captured image is processed by the mobile device to produce a measured value corresponding to a lighting-related parameter.
Abstract:
An optical sensor system is provided which can be used not only as an ordinary light source, but also to calculate an environmental parameter. Rear surface outgoing light (31) output from a rear surface (21) of a semiconductor laser (10) is used in a process of calculating an environmental parameter by control and arithmetic device (60) to, while front surface outgoing light (30) output from a front surface (20) is used in an application other than the calculation of the environmental parameter.
Abstract:
An inspection device is required to detect a minute defect, that is, to have high sensitivity as semiconductor devices become finer. There are some approaches for improving the sensitivity. One is to shorten the wavelength of illuminating light radiated onto a sample. This is because, assuming that the wavelength of the illuminating light is λ, I∝λ−4 is established between the magnitude of scattered light is I and λ. Another approach is to use illuminating light including multiple wavelengths. An approach for taking in more scattered light generated from the sample is also possible. However, an optical system suitable for these approaches has not been sufficiently found in conventional techniques. One feature of the present invention is to detect a defect by using a Wolter optical system including a Wolter mirror.
Abstract:
There is provided a measuring apparatus, including a light receiving element, provided at a position facing a measurement object region on which is placed a measurement object, which forms an image with light from the measurement object region, light emitting elements, arranged surrounding the light receiving element, which emit light for measuring the measurement object, and reflective optical elements, provided above the light emitting elements, which guide, to the measurement object region, emission light radiated from the light emitting elements. A light receiving surface of the light receiving element and light emission surfaces of the light emitting elements are positioned mutually on a same plane. The emission light radiated from the light emitting elements is reflected by the reflective optical elements, and center lines of the emission light radiated from each of the light emitting elements pass through an approximate center of the measurement object region.

An ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV/Vis) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) photometer includes a nano flow cell in which a light source feeds a reference light channel and a sample light channel, a reference photodiode for evaluating the reference light channel, and a sample photodiode for evaluating the sample light channel, which extends through the nano flow cell. To create a photometer whose signal evaluation is improved, respective effective exposure times of the sample photodiode and the reference photodiode are settable separately from one another.
