Abstract:
In a detector for spectrometry attached to an integrating sphere, a plurality of detection elements having different spectral sensitivity characteristics is arranged side by side in the same plane on a base, and a side cover is provided such that the detection elements receive light. Thus, the measurement light is directly irradiated to the respective detection elements. Accordingly, the detector for spectrometry has a fast response speed and is excellent in the sensitivity characteristics in a wide wavelength region in the near-infrared area.

There is provided an optical characteristic measurement system that can be set up in a relatively short time and can increase a detection sensitivity. The optical characteristic measurement system includes a first measurement apparatus. The first measurement apparatus includes: a first detection element arranged in a housing; a first cooling unit at least partially joined to the first detection element that cools the detection element; and a suppression mechanism that suppresses temperature variations occurring around the detection element in the housing.
Abstract:
A spectroscopic measurement apparatus includes a light source, an integrator, a first spectroscopic detector, a second spectroscopic detector, and an analysis unit. The integrator includes an internal space in which a measurement object is disposed, a light input portion for inputting light to the internal space, a light output portion for outputting light from the internal space, and a sample attachment portion for attaching the measurement object. The first spectroscopic detector receives the light output from the integrator, disperses the light of a first wavelength region, and acquires first spectrum data. The second spectroscopic detector receives the light output from the integrator, disperses the light of a second wavelength region, and acquires second spectrum data. The first wavelength region and the second wavelength region include a wavelength region partially overlapping each other.

Systems and methods for measuring spectra and other optical characteristics such as colors, translucence, gloss, and other characteristics of objects and materials such as skin. Instruments and methods for measuring spectra and other optical characteristics of skin or other translucent or opaque objects utilize an abridged spectrophotometer and improved calibration/normalization methods. Improved linearization methods also are provided, as are improved classifier-based algorithms. User control is provided via a graphical user interface. Product or product formulations to match the measured skin or other object or to transform the skin or other object are provided to lighten, darken, make more uniform and the like.

Abstract:
Spectrophotometer for the characterisation of receivers of solar collectors in order to determine optical properties (transmittance and reflectance). The equipment allows the evaluation of a receiver tube in real time and in any kind of light conditions, both inside and outside. The equipment also allows the detection of the eccentricity between the outer tube and the inner tube, which directly influences the reliability of the measurement. The equipment has a mechanical system for allowing a rotation of the equipment around the tube in order to find the optimum measurement position and attach itself to the tube.

Abstract:
Photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) testing of quantum dots is described. In one embodiment, a method involves heating a sample including quantum dots and illuminating the sample with a light source. The method involves measuring spectra of luminescence from the illuminated quantum dots of the sample at each of a plurality of temperatures. The method involves measuring each of the plurality of temperatures with a temperature sensor. The PLQY at each of the plurality of temperatures is computed based on the measured spectra. The method further involves computing a relationship between QD emission wavelength of the measured spectra and the plurality of temperatures measured with the temperature sensor. The relationship is used to determine the QD temperature corresponding to each of the PLQY computations. In one embodiment, an integrating sphere moves on a gantry over the samples.
