Abstract: Spectrophotometers and spectroscopy processes are described that can provide for in-line calibration at every spectral acquisition as well as for continuous response correction during sample processing. The spectrophotometers include multiple polychromatic light sources that include characteristic emission spectra for use as an internal wavelength drift calibration system that is independent of environmental factors. Correction functions provided by the internal calibration process can be applied continuously and across an entire sample spectrum. The intensity response of each spectrometer in a spectrophotometer can also be monitored and continuously corrected for stray light, dark current, readout noise, etc.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of predicting, calculating, or analyzing the sintered density of uranium oxide (UOx) before uranium oxide is added in the pelletizing process during a process of manufacturing nuclear fuel, the method including measuring the chromaticity of ammonium diuranate using a spectrophotometer. The present invention provides a simple and highly reliable method of predicting the sintered density of uranium oxide (UOx), which overcomes the problem with a conventional technology where the sintered density of uranium oxide (UOx) can be analyzed only in a pellet state and a subsequent treatment process needs to be performed according to the analysis result.

Abstract: A system capable of highly sensitive measurement of material concentration values in a sample using an optical spectroscopic method is disclosed. The system utilizes high-speed data acquisition and high resolution sampling of the raw signals output by the sensors with reduced total channel counts, and performs frequency analysis of the signals using the Fourier transform method to process all sensor channels in parallel. When each sensor is targeting the detection of some certain materials at some certain frequencies, the system is capable of simultaneous detection of multiple materials of interest in the sample with high measurement sensitivity and high speed.

The wavelength selective module is configured to disperse the combined light received at an entrance aperture, to select a sample wavelength range of the dispersed light as sample light, and to output the sample light having the selected sample wavelength range from an exit aperture for illuminating a sample.
