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: Systems and methods which provide a compact spectrometer using static Fourier transform interferometer (SFTI) cube configurations, such as are suitable for use with respect to mobile and portable electronic devices, are described. A SFTI cube of embodiments comprises a monolithic dual mirrored wedge beam splitter structure wherein mirrored wedge surfaces provide two reflective mirrors that are slightly tilted away from the orthogonal directions so that the resultant beams of light cross over one another and form an interference pattern. SFTI cube implementations of embodiments facilitate highly compact spectrometer configurations having a wide wavelength range, high resolution, high throughput, and low cost.

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: Provided is a Fourier transform-type spectroscopic device capable of improving an acquisition speed of a molecular vibration spectrum. The Fourier transform-type spectroscopic device (1) of the present invention rotates a scanning mirror (26b) by rotation of a rotating shaft (26a) to change a light path length of scanning light and delay or advance the scanning light with respect to reference light in accordance with a rotation angle of the scanning mirror (26b) from an initial position, and is thus capable of moving the scanning mirror (26b) at a high speed as compared with a case where a movable mirror is mechanically moved as in a conventional Fourier transform-type spectroscopic device, thereby improving an acquisition speed of a molecular vibration spectrum.

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.
