    Abstract: A photometric device (1) measuring light emitted from a measuring object such as a display (2) includes interference filters (20X, 20Y, and 20Z) selectively transmitting a particular wavelength corresponding to a respective one of tristimulus values, an LVF (21) separating and transmitting incident light, a disk (22) supporting the interference filters and the LVF, a motor (23) rotatably drive the disk to cause the light emitted from the measuring object to scan the interference filters and the LVF sequentially, a photoreceptor (13) converting light passed through the interference filters and light passed through the LVF to an electrical signal, and a photometric controller (14) outputting photometric information based on the electrical signal of the light passed through the interference filters and converted by the photoreceptor and the electrical signal of the light passed through the LVF and converted by the photoreceptor.

    Abstract: Devices image radiation from a scene that includes two materials with spectral characteristics in two different wavelength regions. A lens forms an image of the scene on a detector that includes an array of elements. A filtering arrangement integrated with the detector allows half of the detector elements to detect radiation in one of the wavelength regions and the other half of the detector elements to detect radiation in the other wavelength region. Each detector element can be constructed from two different sub-elements that are sensitive to radiation in one of the respective wavelength regions. A blackbody source positioned within the devices reduces drift induced by changes to the environment surrounding the devices. The blackbody source projects radiation onto a region of the detector that does not receive radiation from the scene. Pixel signals produced from the scene radiation are modified based on pixel signals produced from the blackbody.

    Abstract: Monitoring stress symptoms in plants is crucial to maximize crop productivity. Nondestructive imaging of physiological changes in plants has been intensively used as invaluable tools in the agricultural industry. However, this approach requires a bulky and expensive optical instrument for capturing full spectral information and often has intrinsic limitations for quantitative analyses. Disclosed herein are a method and system for spectrometerless hyperspectral imaging that can map out detailed spatial distribution of chlorophyll content, which is a key trait for physiological condition of plants. The combination of a handheld-type imaging system and a hyperspectral reconstruction algorithm offers the simplicity for instrumentation and operation avoiding the use of an imaging spectrograph. This imaging platform can be integrated into a compact, inexpensive, and portable imager for plant biologists and ecophysiologists.

    Abstract: A spectrograph as disclosed includes a housing, wherein a wall of the housing includes first, second and third openings, an entrance slit located at the first opening and configured to direct light along a first light path portion in the interior of the housing, a dispersive element located at the second opening and configured to receive light from the entrance slit along the first light path portion and direct light along a second light path portion in the interior of the housing, a detector located at the third opening and configured to receive light from the dispersive element along the second light path portion. The detector can include first and second groups of light-sensitive regions. A cover can be positioned to separate the first group of light-sensitive regions from the light path, the second group of light-sensitive regions being exposed to the light path.
