    Abstract: A gas analysis system, includes: a light-emitting element that emits a laser light modulated by a predetermined modulation frequency; and a light-receiving element that: receives the laser light that has passed through a measurement target gas; and upon receiving the laser light, outputs a received signal having an N-frequency that is n times the predetermined modulation frequency, wherein n is an integer no less than 2; and a signal processing device that: calculates a third component by removing, from a first component having the N-frequency, a second component, wherein the second component is a component of optical interference noise arising on an optical path of the laser light from the light-emitting element to the light-receiving element and has the same frequency as the first component; and calculates, based on a magnitude of the third component, a concentration of the measurement target gas.

    Abstract: A system for obtaining a measurement of a species of interest. The system includes one or more reference regions, a sensor region, an exciter unit, a detector unit and a processing unit. The exciter unit exposes first and second chemical transducers in the reference and sensor regions, respectively, to an excitation light while they are exposed to reference environments and an analyte, respectively. The detector unit measures responses of the first and the second chemical transducers to the excitation light. The processing unit determines a compensation for aging of the first chemical transducer from a discrepancy between the measurements of the responses of the first chemical transducer and reference responses. The processing unit applies the compensation for aging to the measurement of the response of the second chemical transducer to obtain the measurement of the species of interest in the analyte.

    Abstract: A high-resolution fluorescence image in which an afterimage is suppressed is obtained, even when a fluorescence detection interval is shortened. Provided is a scanning observation apparatus including a scanning unit that spatially scans pulsed excitation light emitted from a light source at prescribed time intervals on a specimen; a fluorescence detecting unit that detects fluorescence generated by exciting a fluorescent substance inside the specimen with the excitation light scanned by the scanning unit, in synchronization with the emission of the excitation light; and a fluorescence correcting unit that subtracts, from a fluorescence intensity detected by the fluorescence detecting unit, an afterimage fluorescence component calculated on the basis of time-sequential fluorescence detected by the fluorescence detecting unit prior thereto, at each scanning position, to correct the fluorescence intensity at the scanning position.

    Abstract: A line scan wafer inspection system includes a confocal slit aperture filter to remove sidelobes and enhance resolution in the scanning direction. A position detector associated with the slit aperture filter monitors and corrects illumination line image positions relative to the slit aperture to keep image position variations within tolerable limits. Each detector measures a line position and then uses the line position signal to adjust optical, mechanical, and electronic components in the collection path in a feedback loop. The feedback loop may be employed in a runtime calibration process or during inspection to enhance stability.
