    Abstract: A method for determining spectral calibration data (λcal(Sd), Sd,cal(λ)) of a Fabry-Perot interferometer (100) comprises: forming a spectral notch (NC2) by filtering input light (LB1) with a notch filter (60) such that the spectral notch (NC2) corresponds to a transmittance notch (NC1) of the notch filter (60), measuring a spectral intensity distribution (M(Sd)) of the spectral notch (NC2) by varying the mirror gap (dFP) of the Fabry-Perot interferometer (100), and by providing a control signal (Sd) indicative of the mirror gap (dFP), and determining the spectral calibration data (λcal(Sd), Sd,cal(λ)) by matching the measured spectral intensity distribution (M(Sd)) with the spectral transmittance (TN(λ)) of the notch filter (60).

    Abstract: A light measurement device that maintains high measurement precision. The light measurement device includes: light source that irradiates light upon measurement object; branch part that splits transmitted light or reflected light from measurement object; phase-changing unit that changes the phase of one beam of the branched light beams; phase-fixing unit that maintains the phase of the other beam of the branched light beams; adjustment mechanism, which is provided in phase-changing unit or phase-fixing unit, for adjusting the propagation direction of light; multiplexer that causes the light emitted by each of phase-changing unit and phase-fixing unit to interfere with each other; detection unit that detects light that is interfered with by multiplexer; and control unit that controls the adjustment mechanism on the basis of the luminance values of an interference image that is detected by detection unit and adjusts the propagation direction of light in phase-changing unit or phase-fixing unit.

    Abstract: In a two-beam interferometer, the moving speed of a movable mirror for producing interference light to generate a spectrum is changed at each completion of an operation cycle during which a reciprocal motion or one-way motion of the movable mirror is performed one or more times. Intensity signals of the interference light are obtained by a plurality of detection operations, where each detecting operation includes a series of detecting operations corresponding to the reciprocal motion or one-way motion of the movable mirror performed one or more times. A piece of information which changes depending on the moving speed of the movable mirror is extracted from the intensity signals obtained by the detection operations. This speed-dependent information corresponds to periodic noise superposed on the intensity signals. Accordingly, a false peak which would otherwise appear on the spectrum due to the periodic noise can be eliminated by removing the speed-dependent information.

    Abstract: A spectroscopic camera includes a wavelength variable interference filter, and an image sensor that receives light which is transmitted through the wavelength variable interference filter. Measurement is implemented a plurality of times by causing measurement light to be incident to the wavelength variable interference filter and changing the wavelength of light that is transmitted by the wavelength variable interference filter. Reflectance based on the intensity of light when a first pixel of the image sensor receives light of a target wavelength, is predicted in the respective plurality of repetitions of measurement on the basis of a light reception central wavelength of light that the first pixel receives, and reflectance that is calculated on the basis of the intensity of light that is received by the first pixel.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an assembly for use in detecting an analyte in a sample based on thin-film spectral interference. The assembly includes a light source to emit light signals; a light detector to detect light signals; a coupler to optically couple the light source and the light detector to a waveguide tip; a monolithic substrate having a coupling side and a sensing side; and a lens between the waveguide tip and the monolithic substrate. The lens relays optical signals between the waveguide tip and the monolithic substrate.

    Abstract: Conventionally, wavelength locking and monitoring has been achieved used various components, including calibrated etalon filters, gratings, and arrays of color filters, which offer fairly bulky solutions that require complicated controls. An improved on-chip wavelength monitor comprises: a combination comb filter comprising a plurality of comb filters, each for receiving a test beams, and each comb filter including a substantially different FSR, e.g. 10× to 20× the next closest FSR. A controller dithers a phase tuning section of each comb filter to generate a maximum or minimum output in a corresponding photodetector indicative of the wavelength of the test signal.
