Abstract: An on-chip spectroscopic sensor includes a tunable diode laser. A laser driver for drives the tunable diode laser. An analyte test cavity receives a chemical sample and exposes the received chemical sample to light from the tunable diode laser. An optical detector detects light emerging from the analyte test cavity as a result of the laser exposure. A spectral analyzer determines a spectrum of the emerging light, matches and removes one or more known optical fringe patterns from the determined spectrum, and determines a composition or concentration of the chemical sample from the optical fringe pattern-removed spectrum.

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: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating hyperspectral images, which may correspond to a three dimensional image in which two dimensions correspond to a spatial field of view and a third dimension corresponds to a frequency domain absorption spectrum. Disclosed systems and methods include those employing dual optical frequency comb Fourier transform spectroscopy and computational imaging for generation of hyperspectral images. Such a combination advantageously allows for imaging systems to exhibit low size, weight, and power, enabling small or handheld sized imaging devices.

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: A heterodyne optical spectroscopy system comprises a light source that acts as a local oscillator (LO); a beam splitting component that generates a reference beam from the LO; a signal component that generates a sample signal from a sample; a beam blocker that can turn off the sample signal to generate blank shots; a composite signal detection subsystem that detects a heterodyned signal that is a mix of the sample signal and a portion of the LO; a composite reference detection subsystem synchronized to the signal detection subsystem to detect a portion of the reference beam; and a processor that processes digital signals from the signal detection subsystem and the reference detection subsystem. A very versatile reference scheme is developed to treat different heterodyne spectroscopies in a unified way, which achieves optimal noise suppression.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an integrated spectral unit including a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) interferometer fabricated within a first substrate and a light redirecting structure integrated on a second substrate, where the second substrate is coupled to the first substrate. The light redirecting structure includes at least one mirror for receiving an input light beam propagating in an out-of-plane direction with respect to the first substrate and redirecting the input light beam to an in-plane direction with respect to the first substrate towards the MEMS interferometer.
