Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for determining the absorption coefficient and the optical density of a fluid as they relate to the wavelength of incident radiation. Specifically, ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs) or the like that emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation or the like are used as sources for irradiating the interior of an integrating chamber that is designed to increase the path length of the radiation through the fluid, thus enhancing the detection limits of the absorption coefficient and the optical density according to Beer's Law.

The analyzer 50 includes an object range setting section which sets a first object range corresponding to excitation light and a second object range corresponding to light emission from the sample S in a wavelength spectrum, and a sample information analyzing section which determines a luminescence quantum yield of the sample S, determines a measurement value Φ0 of the luminescence quantum yield from results of a reference measurement and a sample measurement, and determines, by using factors β, γ regarding stray light in the reference measurement, an analysis value Φ of the luminescence quantum yield with the effect of stray light reduced by Φ=βΦ0+γ. This realizes a spectroscopic measurement apparatus, a measurement method, and a measurement program which can reduce the effect of stray light generated in a spectrometer.

Abstract: An optical sample is mounted on a spatial-acquisition apparatus that is placed in or on an enclosure. An incident beam is irradiated on a surface of the sample and the specular reflection is allowed to escape from the enclosure through an opening. The spatial-acquisition apparatus is provided with a light-occluding slider that moves in front of the sample to block portions of diffuse scattering from the sample. As the light-occluding slider moves across the front of the sample, diffuse light scattered into the area of the backside of the light-occluding slider is absorbed by back side surface of the light-occluding slider. By measuring a baseline diffuse reflectance without a light-occluding slider and subtracting measured diffuse reflectance with a light-occluding slider therefrom, diffuse reflectance for the area blocked by the light-occluding slider can be calculated.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an apparatus that comprises a spectrometer, and computer and a dual integrating sphere measurement arrangement comprising a measurement integrating sphere, a sample integrating sphere, a sample platform, a filter, a lens system, a baffle and a light source. The sample integrating sphere encloses a sample to provide a constant environment for simulating the visual color grading environment. The computer controls the spectrometer and provides measurement parameters calculated from physical parameters of the measured sample, including, but not limited to, shape, dimensions, refractive index, intensity of fluorescence and cut grade. The computer then calculates spectral reflectance and colorimetric data, and determines an average color grade by checking a look-up-table that represents the relationship between the CIELAB coordinate and the average color grade. The computer also determines a true color grade based upon the average color grade and the physical parameters, using mathematical analytic algorithms.

The apparatus comprises a spectrometer, a computer, and a dual integrating sphere measurement arrangement comprising a measurement integrating sphere, a sample integrating sphere, a sample platform, a filter, a lens system, a baffle and a light source. The measurement geometry of the dual integrating sphere measurement arrangement is diffuse illumination and 8 degree viewing with the specular component excluded, plus diffuse white background provided by the sample integrating sphere.

A novel three-step calibration insures an accurate spectral measurement of the sample inside the measurement integrating sphere. The computer controls the spectrometer and provides measurement parameters calculated from the physical parameters of the measured sample, including, but not limited to, shape, dimensions, refractive index, intensity of fluorescence and cut grade. The computer then calculates the spectral reflectance and calorimetric data, and determines an average color grade by checking a look-up-table that represents the relationship between the CIELAB coordinate and the average color grade. The computer also determines a true color grade based upon the average color grade and the physical parameters, using mathematical analyses and algorithms.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing reflectivity of a lens includes an integrating sphere, a light source, a moveable carrier, a detector, and a processor. The integrating sphere has a sampling port for permitting light transfer with a lens to be tested and an exit port configured for transmitting light beams reflected by the lens out from the integrating sphere. The light source generates light beams with a wavelength in a certain range and projects the light beams to the lens. The moveable carrier allows a relative movement between the lens and the integrating sphere. The detector includes a light sensor configured for detecting the light intensity transmitted out from the exit port and transforming it into a reflection comparison signal. The processor is configured for comparing a reference signal of light intensity projected to the lens with the reflection comparison signal to obtain reflectivity of the lens.
