Abstract: A terahertz detection assembly generally has a light generating apparatus configured to generate at least one illuminating light pattern and a substrate member positioned proximate to the light generating apparatus. The substrate member includes a semiconductive portion configured to receive at least a portion of the illuminating light pattern such that a conductive path is defined within the semiconductive portion. At least one waveguide is coupled to the semiconductive portion such that the waveguide is adjacent to the conductive path. The waveguide is configured to receive at least a portion of the illuminating light pattern such that the pattern is moving along the waveguide. The waveguide is further configured to receive a plurality of terahertz electromagnetic waves that are transmitted within the waveguide in the same direction as the motion of the illuminating light pattern to facilitate the detection and characterization of the terahertz electromagnetic waves.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include suppression of optical interference fringes in optical spectra via a modification to the refractive index of media that forms or is contained in one or more components of equipment utilized for optical spectroscopy. Such a modification can yield changes in the optical path of light propagating through at least one of the media, with the ensuing changes in the spectral structure of interference between light propagating through different optical paths. In certain embodiments, the refractive index of the media that forms or is contained in one or more components can be modified via application of a time-dependent stimulus to at least one of the one or more components. The applied stimulus can include pressure, mechanical strain or stress, temperature, a combination thereof, or the like.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes controlling an instrument to measure a fluorescence emission spectrum of a sample including a first peak emission wavelength and at least a second peak emission wavelength, emitted in response to an excitation wavelength and controlling the instrument to measure an absorbance obtained at the excitation wavelength of the sample. The method may include determining, using the computer, a ratio of the measurements at either the second peak emission wavelength, or a sum of measurements at a plurality of peak emission wavelengths including at least the first peak emission wavelength and the second peak emission wavelength, to the first peak emission wavelength, and calculating, using the computer, a value for a quality parameter based on a combination of at least the ratio and the absorbance measurement. The method may include controlling an associated process based on the quality parameter.

Abstract: In a terahertz-wave spectrometer, a spectroscopic prism is provided with a prism part slidable with respect to a main part thereof. Along the sliding direction, an arrangement surface in an upper face of the prism part is provided with a plurality of arrangement regions K to be arranged with objects to be measured. Therefore, after completing the measurement of optical constants for one object, the prism part is slid, so as to shift the next object onto an optical path of a terahertz wave T, whereby a plurality of objects can be measured smoothly without cleaning the arrangement surface.

Abstract: A chemical characteristic of a material is measured using a calibration unit and container for holding a sample of the material. The calibration unit has a front portion and an imaging background positioned behind the sample and viewable through the container and the sample of the material, wherein a portion of the sample of the material is positioned in front of the imaging background so as to form a sample imaging region. A calibration strip extends along the front portion, which includes a location marker and a plurality of calibration indicia of differing colors. A computing device captures an image of the calibration strip and the sample imaging region. A calibration step is performed using the calibration strip to generate a calibration model, which is applied to the sample color vector to generate a calibrated sample color vector.

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: 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.
