Abstract: An operating value of a first laser parameter of a laser device in a laser absorption spectrometer is optimized. The wavelength of laser device emitted light is adjusted by the first or a second laser parameter. The laser absorption spectrometer comprises a light intensity detector measuring the laser light intensity from the laser device. For each of multiple values of the first laser parameter: the light intensity detector measures light intensity obtained across a range of second laser parameter values, and an extremum in the light intensity measure and a peak position for the extremum are identified. A range of first laser parameter values is identified within the values of the first laser parameter for which there is a continuous trend in changes to the identified peak position with changes to the first laser parameter. The first laser parameter operating value is set to be within the identified range.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a device and method for conducting measurement of a Doppler shift caused by molecular and aerosol movement while simultaneously providing measurement of temperature using LIDAR. The device incorporates a light source; and a Fabry-Perot etalon having a resonant cavity formed with two plane parallel reflecting surfaces, wherein the light source is positioned relative to the a Fabry-Perot etalon such that light is injected into a plane parallel resonant cavity of the Fabry-Perot etalon at an angle of incidence other than normal to the reflecting surfaces. The Fabry-Perot etalon may be formed with each of the parallel reflecting surfaces having different reflectivities. The light source may be positioned to direct the light to bypass a first reflective surface of the plane parallel resonator cavity, and/or implemented using a divergent light source. In addition, the Fabry-Perot etalon may be formed to include an aperture in at least one mirror surface or an edge portion in at least one mirror surface through which the light is directed into the resonant cavity. The device may also incorporate a detector for detecting a fringe pattern outputted by the Fabry-Perot etalon.

Abstract: An imager contains an image sensor with laterally varying spectral response. The imager is scanned over a scene or object to form a spectral image. The spectral responses are repeated at different positions in the field of view so as to reduce the effect of scene nonidealities, such as angle dependence or temporal variation, on the spectral image data. A part of the image sensor may be used for conventional two-dimensional imaging. This part of the image sensor may be used to estimate the scene geometry and scan movement, enabling further improvement in the spectral integrity.
