Abstract: One or more light source apparatuses, one or more information acquisition apparatuses and related method(s) are discussed herein. At least one embodiment of a light source apparatus includes a light source that generates first pulsed light and a nonlinear optical medium that generates second pulsed light having a wavelength different from that of the first pulsed light due to incidence of the first pulsed light. The light source may be configured so that the center wavelength of the first pulsed light is variable across the zero dispersion wavelength of the nonlinear optical medium.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods for analyzing a heterogeneous sample. In certain aspects, the invention provides methods that involve illuminating a heterogeneous sample including a target analyte with polychromatic light, receiving luminous data of the heterogeneous sample and the target analyte is received to a detector without splitting the polychromatic light into individual wavelengths and generating spectral data therefrom. The analysis can be conducted without reacting the target analyte with chemical reagents.

Abstract: A method and system for optimizing a match between the color of an in-line part manufactured by a plastic product production machine and the color of a reference part by adjusting the concentration of masterbatch in the mixture of raw material fed to the plastic product production machine. The optimization of the color is based on spectra of the in-line part and reference part obtained within a short time interval using the same spectrometer, thereby eliminating the requirement for high accuracy spectrometer calibration and allowing the method, which determines the rates at which the base masterbatches are added to the raw material, to be carried out in real time on the manufacturing floor while the plastic product production machine is being operated to manufacture in-line parts.

Abstract: A LIBS analyzer, preferably handheld, includes a laser configured to produce a plasma on a sample and a spectrometer responsive to radiation emitted from the plasma and configured to produce a spectrum. A controller subsystem is configured to control energizing the laser and to analyze the resulting spectrum from each laser pulse to determine if the laser is aimed at a sample. If the analyzed spectrum reveals the laser is not aimed at the sample, the controller subsystem halts the laser puke sequence.

Abstract: A microscope that makes it possible to acquire a hyperspectral image with high data precision includes a light source, an illumination optical system, an image-forming optical system, an imaging unit, a spectroscope, a stage, a drive unit, and a control unit. The illumination optical system converges, at a converging angle θ, illuminating light in a wavelength band included in the near-infrared region output from the light source, and emits the converged illuminating light onto the object being observed. The image-forming optical system forms an image based on transmitted and scattered light generated by the observed object by emission of the illuminating light onto the observed object. The sin θ is set to a value that does not exceed the numerical aperture of an objective lens that receives the transmitted and scattered light from the observed object.

Abstract: Apparatus and techniques for broadband Fourier transform spectroscopy can include frequency hopping spread-spectrum spectroscopy approaches. For example, an excitation source power can be spread over a specified frequency bandwidth, such as by applying a sequence of short, transform-limited pulses to a sample. Each pulse can include a specified carrier frequency, and a corresponding bandwidth of the individual pulse can be determined by a frequency domain representation when Fourier transformed. A series of short excitation pulses can be used to create an excitation sequence, such as to deliver a specified or desired amount of power to the sample, such as by having the excitation source enabled for a time comparable to a free induction decay (FID) dephasing time.

Abstract: Method in which, in order to actuate a wavelength-tunable laser diode in a spectrometer, a power-time function is predetermined instead of a current-time function, wherein the laser diode is tuned periodically over a wavelength range in accordance with the power-time function. For this purpose, a current profile (i) with which the laser diode is actuated is determined from the power-time function and measured values of the voltage (u) present at the laser diode.

Abstract: A gas analyzing apparatus includes a plurality of light sources, an inlet, a light detector, and an analyzing unit. The plurality of light sources simultaneously output a plurality of measurement light beams. The inlet introduces the plurality of measurement light beams into a measurement space. The light detector measures total intensity. The analyzing unit analyzes the target gases based on a difference between a measured target intensity and a reference intensity, in which the measured target intensity is a total intensity measured by the light detector after passing through the measurement space in which one of the target gases exists, while the reference intensity is the total intensity measured by the light detector after passing through the measurement space in which none of the target gases exists.
